I am just setting up my dish with the Jaeger 1224 motor. As I want to keep my dish as low as possible I was wondering if removing the offset flanges (blue) are required. Can just the adaptor plate (red) be used on its own. This would mean my motor is set more horizontal and the dish lower from the bedroom window.

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
