[QUOTE="AForester, post: 61651, member: 181748"] Hi Rolfw is right, the Tracsat motor covers the range 10 to 60 degrees "elevation" which is 80 to 30 degrees "latitude". So for your latitude of 50.5 degrees the elevation should be 39.5 degrees. you are looking too high. From you pictures it looks as if the motor is virtually on it's end stop!. The bird at 5west would be the best one for you to set up on as Rolfw also mentioned. Try 12543 H, 27500, 3/4 or 12642 H, 4100, 5/6. You might also try for Amos 2 at 4west on 10763 H, 21750, 3/4. All the above will give you a FTA digital picture. Regards and happy hunting AF PS do not get your compass too near to iron/steel objects as the needle will then point to that object instead of magnetic north which at present is somewhere in the north of Canada. Polycarbonate dishes usually have a reasonable lifetime unless subjected to winds similar to those we had back in 1987 as they then tend to flex and break AF [/QUOTE]
