[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 5809, member: 174998"] ckrys1 there are actually three independent variables in aligning a motorised dish (a) inclination (B) declination (c) alignment to south (c) is obvious. But (a) and (B) are sometimes confused. Inclination is the angle between horizontal and the mount's axis of rotation. Declination is the angle between the mount's axis of rotation and the plane of the dish. If any one of those three are not precisely set, then you will at best get only part of the whole arc of satellites. 2old [/QUOTE]
