[QUOTE="archive10, post: 902343"] I have a suggestion for the conundrum: As the dish is on a polar mount, you have to remember that the dish need to point due south (spot on!) when centered. This means point at 14.5E, based on your location. Here, the dish should have an elevation of 48.3 degrees, which yields 25 degrees or more of elevation on a CM. Once the dish is moved by the motor on the polar axis to point at 27.5W, the dish is tilted westward, and you get the proper elevation of a couple of degrees on your dish (and remember the dish face also looks rotated). So to use your installation properly, set up the polar mount correctly (center the thing, point due south, get fix on 14.E, move dish east and west and align east and west sats etc.etc.etc. There are guides elsewhere on this forum!)
