Hi , I`m struggling setting up my dish
Penta square type 85 cm ,
Dark Motor , tehcnomate 6900.
Not sure how to work the angles out and the following issues.
My lattitude is 53.5
longitude 0.21.2
Does the Dish mount bracket fit on the Dark Motor arm exactly level with the angle of the arm eg equal to the downtube , or should it be at a slight angle ( as there are no angle markings on my dish brackets.if so how do i measure the angles
Also what angle should the Dark motor be at relevant to the mountin pole , do i put it to 53.5 , as i have heard you have to do some sort of equation to set it at a differant deg.
You also set the dish the face south when to dark motor is at 0 is that correct.
once this is done will everything be ok or is there something else i need to know.
many thanks
Hopefully i will get there in the end
