Because there are other houses near me, I can point at features on other peoples houses when I'm up the ladder.I've done this, but my dish is at a very different angle to everyone elses...? Right general direction, but you can tell mine is diffeerent.I have a compass, and have read that astra 2 is 28.8 degrees east of south, but other posts talk about your location (stockport) changing this, and then there is true magnetic north variation?Is there a post or website that gives you info on how to set up your compass, and a table to read from, so you can turn the compass to the correct number?Thanks.
