Hi I have set my polar mount elevation angle to 50 as my location is 50.56
So how can I work out the declanation angle please?

I've got a 1.5m but the polar mount is the same. I get satellites from 57E to 61W. At 61W the mount is at the end of its travel. Past 57E is limited by some trees, not the mount. So right now you are at least 25º off the possible travel of the mount.is this a normal amount of travel or can I get any further round?
Something wrong here. Correct polar mount elevation for your location is 38.8º. Declination is 6.7º. If you subtract the declination from the elevation it will give you the elevation of your due south satellite. 38.8 - 6.7 = 32.1º. Just looking at the mount in the photos looks wrong. It looks set up pretty much the same as mine and I am 12º further south.I have set my polar mount elevation angle to 50 as my location is 50.56
I guess the settings mentioned are from what it says on the mount, not by using the correct method of an angle finder ?.Something wrong here. Correct polar mount elevation for your location is 38.8º.
