[QUOTE="a33, post: 1034168, member: 332642"] The non-spherical shape you can take into account, if you want, with your declination-calculation. I don't know if the drawing of Huevos did it, but when you use a 'normal' formula for declination as I did, it's not that difficult. I myself usually use the [B]mean earth radius[/B] for calculations, as a way to take the anomalies of the sphere shape into account. Better than using 6378 km for the radius at the equator I think. Well, it starts under Wine; but I found no exit buttons, so I had to reset my computer to close the programm. :( Viewing the orbit tracking part of the tool: It's solely for a setup with motor axis parallel to earth polar axis? I didn't see a tool to set [B]polar axis tilt[/B], aka modified motor elevation and modified dish declination? That is what Huevos' and my post were about. greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
