[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 906703, member: 243342"] Good point. Get a ruler with a spirit level and set it horizontal towards 70 degrees-ish and see if you can "see" into the abyss/horizon when viewing along its edge. Also, don't forget that you would be measuring from where the bottom of the dish would be. Since there's a 2m difference in your case, it's likely that the top of dish might be OK but the bottom would be shadowed. Still, with only half of the dish illuminated, it would be equivalent to a 1m dish! [/QUOTE]
