    Question Motor Setup confusion - Declination

    I've finally got around to mounting a pole on my roof and have an 80cm dish and SuperJack DG 120 motor too go on it.

    I am a bit confused about the angles:

    A) The angle of the motor
    B) The angle of the dish

    http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...2006/motor.jpg

    I'm in Central london and my Latitude is 51 degrees.

    Do I simply set the motor for 51 degrees Latitude and the dish to 0 degrees.

    Sorry for the daft question but my motor never came with any instructions and I have tryed to read through some of the posts and have got a bit confused.

    Thanks

    My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.
    Yes, set the motor bracket to your actual latitude (that is the elevation setting), then swing the whole lot around to approximately Due South, the declination is set on the dish bracket, you do not have to know the figure for this, you can set the receiver for 1W Thor and use soemthing like the BBC World transponder to zero in the dish.

    My System: cm dish, 1224 motor,Inverto black ultra twin, vantage x221tsci, cyfra+, cm 1.2 when fitted up
    if the SuperJack DG 120 motor is like the moteck sg2100a motor then set it to latitude 51= 39 degrees elevation on the motor bracket and for dish set to 22 degrees and take it from there

    then move around to find thor 1west as rolfw says
