[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 477120, member: 256551"] I'm having trouble working out what you have actually done now. When aligning the dish for a motorized setup, the motor body itself must end up pointing exactly at true south. This is achieved by MOTORISING the dish to your nearest due south satellite (in your case 5W), and then swivelling the motor round the pole, and wiggleing the dish up and down to get the maximum signal off that sat. ( and in the centre of the beam) The end result being that the motor is pointing at true south, as you have used a satellite as a reference. I say use USALS to send the dish to 5W as this is the easiest way. Honestly, once you have done this and got your pole vertical and the motor elevation correct, you won't be far off the mark. Well its worked every time for me anyway, and I have just had to do a few tweaks here and there to track the arc and get all the satellites possible on it optimally. That is where the last bit of your post may come in handy, but I have never had to worry it, it has always worked for me without having to get too technical. [/QUOTE]
