[QUOTE="Satcom1, post: 558328, member: 302061"] My Zenith Satellite is Galaxy 28. I first set the dish with a compass, this method is not very accurate. Then I go to the NOAA Sunrise/Sunset Calculator and input my Lat. & Long., this then gives me the exact time for solar noon. Then at that time of day, I move the dish so that the LNBF shadow is in the exact center of the dish axis. :) Here are pictures of Prime Focus and Offset dishes using this method.:-pointr [/QUOTE]
