[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 168901, member: 175057"] Sounds far to complicated to me, just set the motor to your latitude, and then swinging the motor on the mast and moving the dish elevation up and down, slowly move it until you find 5W. The declination angle is as would be read off of the dish scale, if it doesn't have one, then you can guess the approximate angle by subtracting the offset of the dish (if known), subtract that from the elevation of 5W from your location and it will give you the angle of the dish above the vertical.
