[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 985409, member: 323322"] The adjustment you've made is pretty much par for the course. Depending upon how exposed the dish is and what direction the wind comes from, adjustments for weaker Satellites can be necessary on a relatively frequent basis, especially with bigger dishes (eg 1.1m as opposed to, say, 80cm) where alignment is more crucial. Matters far less for strong birds. I don't tend to worry until the error creeps towards a degree or more, then I might go out and tweak the dish and tighten a few clamps etc. Quite frankly, there is likely to be backlash in the H-H Motor as well, so setting Longitude in USALS to precision of two or three decimal places is a waste of time as it'll hardly ever be accurate.
