Thanks for the picture. Ive modified it to illustrate my (and probably dfdreams) issue! Hopefully I havent commited any crimes here
The declination angle is set by adjusting a bolt (illustrated by the yellow yellow arrow). My latitude = 53N which the instructions say set elevation to 36.33 .... Ive done that.
Decl needs to be 6.89. Both the adaptor plate (red) and the offset flanges (blue) can be adjusted which independently alter the declination angle. I have no idea what to have them set to. I aim my dish to 5W and get 85% and then I can never get more than 1 or 2 sats either side of that starting point.
Hopefully someone here has this motor and can shed some light
