Hi Dogs

26degrees is the look angle to THor from your location. It has nothing to do with the scaling on your motor.
You state that your location latitude is 56.188 which will be 56.2 (close enough). If you have latitude and elevation marked on your motor, then elevation equals 90 minus latitude. Inyour case elevation = 90 - 56.2 = 33.8
So you set your motor to latitude 56.2 or elevation 33.8. All depending upon the scale marked on the motor.
Dish elevation, as wod mentiones, is as per the motor handbook.
