Astra 1C will make a complete movement of +/-3.8 degrees in a (sidereal) day compared to a true geostationary satellite which is kept in a 0.1degree box. Unless you have some tracking device or software, you're going to have to continually tweak your elevation actuator manually to peak your signal level.
