[QUOTE="denno69, post: 619097, member: 280721"] Hi guys I need some advice (still learning!). Not sure if this in the right section but... I have put together my 1m satelite but I am a little unsure as what the angle for the dish bracket should be. I have set my motor to my latitude (52.7485°) on the latitude scale on the motor brakcet as explained in the booklet and then attached the motor to the bracket that holds the dish. Then I hooked the dish up to that bracket so it's altogether ready to be put up on the L bracket on the wall (which I haven't yet put up). In the motor booklet it says that the angle on the dish bracket should be 35 degres - (minus) the declination angle and according to the table, the declination angle for 53 degress = 7.6 So 35 - 7.6 = dish bracket angle of 27.4 (which is what is in the table so makes sense) So I am guessing that I should just set the angle to 27.4 on the dish bracket but I don't know which way round the dish bracket should be?!?!? Should the angle be at the top or bottom of the bracket?!? The 27.4 is at the bottom of the bracket. There is an arrow that points downwards so I am assumng that that is the way the bracket should face> Any advice would be great. Cheers [/QUOTE]
