[QUOTE="hacksawbob, post: 171858, member: 206994"] Been through the manual and cant find anything relating to the declination setting. it only mentions the elevation from your geographical position. I've had a play with the mount, the pole I found had been crushed as I had over tightened the U bolts. I have slid it down a few inches now so I am on 'virgin' pole and have re-aligned as good as I can. I am finding different readings from different spirit levels so I'm not sure what to trust. Any way I can see that I need to discover this declination. I have my dish facing due south now. What you seem to be saying rolfw, is send motor to thor. If I do that with USALS because I enter my lat and long doesn't the receiver make the correction for me (+ 2.5 degs west?) therefore I keep the motor facing due south and let the software take care of the corrections. Or do I need to guess the 2.5 degs and manually move the mount that much. I think I need to be correct with declination before I search east/west if I am trying to search for declination AND East West to get Thor I'll be there all night (again) [/QUOTE]
