[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 653612, member: 301161"] Yeah you can and you should. The reason for the difference is you are on the surface of the planet, not at the orbital centre. This means your southern most satellite is about 2000 km closer to you than your east and west most satellites, so you need a bit more declination when looking south than when looking west or east. If you do the motor elevation based on the traditional method you will be about 0.68º low at each end of the arc. [/QUOTE]
