[QUOTE="a33, post: 1148993, member: 332642"] Thanks for the photoos. Motor elevation looks OK, tube angle would indeed be 30*. Dish face looks downward now, and I would expect a bit upward, when aimed due south. [B]Total dish elevation should be 35.9-7.0 =~ 28.9*[/B], and most offset dishes have an offset angle of 20-25 degrees. So I guess the dish elevation scale angle should be where the bolt is? That means it would now be set at about 16*. So, does it help to aim the dish higher? If all this fails, you could measure the present elevation angle of the dish face (some long wood on the dish face, and then measure the angle). And measure width and height of the dish, so we can calculate the offset angle. From these measures, we can calculate how many degrees it should be aimed higher. Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
