Exclamation Which angle shall I use on my dish??

Hello everybody! I mated a 110x100 cm dish with a Satcontrol SM3D22 motor and set the scale on the motor to my latitude which is 38.72 N. Now I've come to the point I can't go any further. Using Satlex I came up with this numbers: my zenith elevation is 45.20º, my declination is -6.08 and dish has a 24.62º offset angle. How do I calculate the angle I should use on my dish's scale? Should I subtract the declination and the offset from the elevation? I also have another problem I have no marks on my dish's scale...
