Elevation Angle

No, because if set up correctly you are using a "modified polar mount". The satellites in the sky don't appear as a straight line but as an arc. If you are set up correctly as the dish turns it tracks the arc. Your most south satellite is the highest satellite in the arc. The ones to the E & W are progressively lower in the sky. Also as your dish turns you will notice that the lnbf is also canting and this also adjusts the skew angle. 8)
