[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 5335, member: 175277"] [updated:LAST EDITED ON 19-Jun-02 AT 01:00 PM (GMT)]I have provided some additional information below that I hope helps understand the satellite geo stationary arc The Chicago area is approx 41.6 Lat N, and 87.4w. Your Latitude is your position that, corresponds to the direction of the North Star. As you move from the equator to the North Pole your Latitude changes from 0° to 90°. your latitude is approx 41.6 N or 41.6 degrees North of the equator Your Longitude is your location from the line at 0º longitude which runs through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, near London UK. Or approx 87.4 degrees west from London. Your declination offset as it is more technically defined is the number of degrees between your Latitude and the angle of the face of the dish. The range of satellites that you identify are west of your south location , I have copied below what I would suggest. Your Eastern sat is Galaxy 6 or towards the horizon NSS806 at @40 deg, Your South sat AMC 3or K3 @87deg, This is also your middle sat Your Western sat W77@137deg. The Ajack H-H mount is still available the rights to the design were purchased around 4 years ago by KTI. You can purchase the mount in the US from KTI and also from WWW.doebis.com in Germany they carry around 10 in stock and cost (trade price) is around $300 ( please note that it is now manufactured by Jaguer as a KM1012. I have it installed on my 3.7 mtr and works well , but I did make some serious modifications to the support structure- I replaced and re-welded 12mm supports where there were 6 mm etc etc , the worm drive is excellent however. DH also offer two versions of H-H if I remember one is very professional and expensive twin axis for servo amplifier control etc The old jackarm i would suggest that you start with seperating the motor from the tube first, and then checking out the motor if it is ok etc When we see the photographs we can try to help again Old Satellite [/QUOTE]
