bet they would drive a andrews 1.8 across the arc no problem

you are right specialy we lose completly the LNB´s polarity control(unless we use mecanical polarizer or such),but i would set it up correctly cross the arc then use the elevation option for small ajustment and inclined satelites ,i would use this motor same a s the SMR1224 EL but for hugh dishes..cheersHuevos said:Am I missing something here. This is an az/el mount for tracking non-geosats. It wouldn't make any sense to use this for geosats.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. It would be fine for circular polarization though. I've made a few mounts for astrophotography and an az/el is not compatible with that for the reason you mention. It just blurs any extended exposure.pipino said:you are right specialy we lose completly the LNB´s polarity control(unless we use mecanical polarizer or such)
First you get the dish on the arc. Then you drive the actuator left and right using a v-box. Once you find the satellites you want you need to save to the v-box memory.benhur5701 said:I have a friend who has one and I also want one.My 3 meter dish weighing about 100kg, I want to be able to turn it.But experts say it is not feasible because it is so big.They said I must have a accutator the top, but how to sync them?

Sorry but I don't understand what you are saying.benhur5701 said:Exactly my plan, a vbox and a 36 inch accutator.But even a small accutator for azimutvinkeln, but how do I control it? An engine is no problem, but the two engine-makers should re sync with each other. An Egis should solve that problem, but it is little to pricy for me.
