That picture is one reason why I posted my question. The caption says it is set for 44 but, right behind the little pointer where the black line is looks like 46. I'm not sure if 2 degrees makes much difference, but, it would seem like 2 degrees down here could be a hudred miles once you reach the satellite!
This pic shows where my latitude is set. My first post said elevation, but, I meant to say latitude. (I knew I would screw up my question!) Okay, again, I hope you can see this, it is very bright outside and it is really hard to tell if I have a good shot or not, but, here it is. {Edit: The little pointer is just behind the 40, the pic is fuzzy.}
If I am correct about one thing, the offset nature of these dishes is such that the dish is actually pointing much higher than it looks, right?
Latitude is 38.72 here nad Long. is 90.11. So, if the box is trying to point the dish at
IA5 would this put the motor pipe pointer at the 80 to one side? I suppose it would make sense to make sure the motor is turning to the right place in the first place.
Thanks again.
