Mine is also 79 deg.

To get around the problem you are talking about, my dish is on a pole about 15 feet off the ground, and can "see" over the major tree I have in the yard about 30 feet away.

There was a discussion about using the sun to track where the clark belt is, and you can watch the shadows of the trees to know if they block visablitiy. Not sure when that will happen again (or soon enough for your analysis) but that was interesting for me. My dish was illuminated by the sun all the way till Satmex 5, which is tree in neighbors yards that prevents me from that section of satellites.
