[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 134286, member: 176362"] Easy. the sun is due south - 0 degrees at midday gmt. The sun moves 15 degrees an hour, or 1 degree every 4 minutes around the sky. Add or subtract the appropriate number of degrees for the satellite you are interested in, work out the time factor, and go and stand where the dish will be installed at the appropriate time. If you can see the sun you should be ok - although note - the sun is slightly higher than the satellite arc at this time of year. Mid October it will be almost on the arc, as we head into the winter depths the sun is below the satellite arc. [/QUOTE]
