[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 653921, member: 301161"] You're still missing the point. Declination is just how much the dish points downwards in relation to the polar axis. But that does not compensate for the southern most satellite requiring more declination due to its shorter range. The only way to compensate for this is to tilt the motor axis forward in relation to the earth's axis. If you don't do this you will be out at either end of the arc by nearly 0.75º at mid latitudes.
