[QUOTE="FSDSMAN, post: 635162, member: 331301"] Hi That is what I thought. The only problem is that both sides of the plat show the scale in Latitude and from what I have read in the manual if my lat is 51 I set the elevation angle to 39 on the Latitude scale markers on the side of the moter. If I set it to 51 and not 39 the motor pole is pointing rearwards and not slightly forwards. I did got to the site to find my true south but the main problem I have is I have a garage wall the entire length of my garden which obscures any visual referance point in that direction. Also for local reasons and covonets I cannot mount the dish any higher than my fence (within reason) Also does anybody make a square pole so the motor cannot turn and then have that welded to a circular plate that can rotate before being clamped and have magnetic markings on it? Just an idea but it would make the motor mount far more stable and line up a cinch. Sort of base mount sun dial if you like. Thanks for the replys but I still need to get it set up correctly.
