[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 746700, member: 256551"] Assuming that your pole is vertical then your motor angle is wrong. Your declination is too much causing the dish to drop too much at the sides of the arc. Your longitude is not 50 deg, that will be your latitude. On the side of the motor there is a latitude scale, set that to your latitude. (50 degrees I suspect, but check it on dishpointer.com) In other words, your motor is tilted up too much, so to compensate the dish is tilted down too much so that you can get Thor, but your arc is too steep.
