[QUOTE="TheBozz, post: 441147, member: 268611"] Hi There, Would someone be able to help in confirming and explaining in a little more detail, if I have set up my first motorised system correctly. I have securely attached to a south facing wall my mounting pole which is vertical. I have attached the Motek SG-1200a motor with an elevation of 38 based on: longitude = 52.49228 Latitude = 2.09158 I then have attached the Raven Aries 80 with LNB to the motor pole and set the Dish Bracket at 22.5 I then grabbed a compass and pointed the whole unit towards magnetic south? and away I went. The motor works perfectly by manually driving it on the computer and if select a satellite and press goto it goes... somewhere, but I don't quite know where. I do pick up some channels and some I don't O.K please don't laugh - What is the declination angle, and am i nearly there or not? [/QUOTE]
