[QUOTE="jenseneverest, post: 1079885, member: 413684"] Hi all, After picking up an ebay bargain a while ago i rebuilt the polar mount and mounted the dish at the start of the summer, since then other things have had to take priority over the hobby.... I hope to get a chance this week to finally finish it off and get it working. I have bought a new vbox, ram, cables etc that have just gathered dust for months now...... [ATTACH type="full" alt="127357"]127357[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="127358"]127358[/ATTACH] At this point i am pretty dam confused as to how to set it up, the scale on the threaded bolt has long since rusted off the polar mount. I moved everything about when i had it in bits so now have nothing to work off as a starting point. The declination angle at the top of the mount is also very confusing as that scale is actually marked as "latitude" What confuses me further is the dish is also offset. I have an inclinometer and a basic sat finder / compass My latitude is 51.5403 ( Essex area ) Some help as to where to measure.... and what my angles should be...... would be really great !! For a start this scale is just doing my head in [ATTACH type="full" alt="127359"]127359[/ATTACH] Dose the dish offset have a bearing on this declination angle ? The only detail i can find for the CM 1.2 offset is 22.6 degrees is this correct ? Assuming i can somehow figure out how to correlate the number of theads to the scale (no missing on mine) an the lat adjuster is it measured with the green or orange line in the pic below ?? [ATTACH type="full" alt="127360"]127360[/ATTACH] Im obviously lost lol, any help or pointers appreciated TIA jensen [/QUOTE]
