[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 426676, member: 256551"] Hi, yes thats correct for you motor elevation. (assuming it has not got a latitude scale) There are ways of working out dish declination, based on how bent the motor pole is and the dish offset angle. Far easier though, to just start with the dish looking like its vertical and adjust the dish elevation for max signal. The elevation for Thor is about 30 degrees, down this way. Yes, you need to drive it to Thor (0.8 west to be precise) Easiest to do it using USALS. If not move it to the difference between your longitude and 0.8W I imagine you must be pretty close to 0.8 west anyway. So if your longitude was 1E then you would need to drive it about 2 degrees westward. (motor scale would read 2 W) So, No, It is not necessarily 1 degree that you drive it to, it depends on your longitiude. It may not need moving or move at all (USALS) before adjusting it. [/QUOTE]
