[QUOTE="RobTi, post: 795966, member: 299420"] Okay can't get my head round this, the pictures and instructions are for elevation, but the scale on the motor is latitude. My position is from dishfinder Latitude: 55.7746° Longitude: -4.0758° Dish Setup Data- Elevation: 21.0° Azimuth (true): 145.0° Azimuth (magn.): 148.7° LNB Skew [?]: -18.8° So according to the instructions i should set the Elevation to the latitude that i am at, so rounded up to 55.8*, now this means that my dish mount is up inside the motor flange. Also it says for the declination angle to read your position of the scale attached and 35*- your declination angle, so for my latitude it would read 35-7.8=27.2. So if this is right then i should set the motor up at 55.8* and the dish mount will be 27.2*, i have attached 2 pics of the mount then i can alter the bracket and get it fitted tomorrow Robert [/QUOTE]
