[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 743709, member: 323322"] First of all, you should only change the Longitude, not the Latitude. Secondly, this only works for small displacements from correct physical alignment (say half a degree or so) so, if the motor has slipped around the pole by more than a small amount, the only solution to maintain correct tracking right across the arc is to shift it back to the correct alignment. And if the dish, the mount or the entire assembly is tilting forward or back then you won't track anyway. Therefore, send the dish to 5W, go and check your mount is still plumb, then correct the alignment by shifting the motor/dish as one around the mount and by tweaking (if necessary) the dish bracket). Hopefully it's just azimuth that is too far out. [/QUOTE]
