I guess, yeah. 360 degrees is full circle so 8 degrees on the compass would be 8 degrees on a protractor. But take my advice - ditch the protractor - just grab the dish and nudge it a bit east. If you don't get a signal on T6 then tweak the elevation a couple of degrees; first up 1 degree then down 1 degree.

BTW: You're not trying to aim the dish through the glass window are you?
