[QUOTE="claasi, post: 117980, member: 179023"] [size=2]Ok sorry I missed his position in the small letters. I checked with the calculator and it would be 0,82 degrees on the motor for Thor. He can use Thor then as a guide. You are right with the magnetic variation since I misunderstood at first. But you can start of, it is recommended to use the zero for the total south which was also mentioned in the manual for the first setup. When you move to a satellite and the scale is of more than 2 degrees you can adjust the motor on the scale and turn the whole motor and dish slightly so it meets the correct motor scale. 1 degree is of cause not really able to adjust since the scale is a bit chunky on the motor anyway. I just wanted to state that you generally can't always use 1 west as a guide were ever you are. But I missed the position from Clive and Ralf you can do it the way you suggested of cause as long as you are not to far away of any bird close by. Claasi [/size] [/QUOTE]
