[QUOTE="futumsch, post: 650440, member: 321089"] Hello Blake Azimuth angle can be calculated by: 180+ ArcTan(Tan (satellite longitude - site longitude)/sine site latitude) a tip: keep your longitudes in degrees west, i.e. so Dubai might be 305 west for example. and BADR4 at 26E would be 334 degrees west. Remember to convert your degrees to radians especially if you are using Excel. This assumes that the satellite has 0 degrees inclination. And this also assumes tha the Earth is a perfect sphere, which it isn't. This is going to give you azimuth values that you might expect from the majority of satellite pointing angle sites like _dishpointer dot com, which are good enough for small diameter dishes with 1-2 degree beamwidths.
