[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 166779, member: 176362"] The dish is metal, and the needle is reacting to a big lump of metal nearby! :D Stand a couple of feet away, and take a bearing onto an object on the skyline. Then stand by the lnb arm , look along it, and align onto that same point. You will be fairly close with a bit of practise. Dont forget to allow for magnetic variation! (Magnetic south is about 5 degrees away from due south....) [/QUOTE]
