[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 1082642, member: 323322"] Yep. That's the right ballpark - adjusting it a little will be required, though, to compensate for inevitable slight errors in the relationship between all the bits and bobs. However, it is by no means uncommon for the [I]motor[/I] latitude setting to be totally wrong because of using the wrong scale - many motors have a scale marked Latitude and one marked Elevation. Set the motor to 53.3 against the former and ignore the latter. Also, some dishes (don't know about the TD88, although someone here will) have a reversible bracket that also has two scales. It should be a simple matter to check it's correctly assembled as (provided the motor bracket is also set correctly as above) the dish face should be very nearly vertical. [/QUOTE]
