[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1110149, member: 415308"] I set it till it to where it looked about right (Dish leaning slightly back for me), moved the dish a few clicks towards 1W, then rotated the mount in the hope of finding 1W. Once found I adjusted the declination to peak 1W, then moved the dish to see how it followed the arc. Ended up rotating the mount a couple of degrees, adjust the declination a small amount to peak 1W and then try again, did this a couple of times until it followed the arc. You can measure the skew of the dish using your inclinometer, just make sure the meter is vertical while taking a reading. Find out what your skew for 1W is and move the dish until it is skewed correctly, then rotate the mount to peak 1W. [/QUOTE]
