Re: yep

You have to set at direct south with your dish. From there, you need to calculate the azimuth of your intended bird. Once you know the angle azimuth, subtract or add the angle difference from your "0" set point on HH motor. Example: your intended azimuth target is 199 degrees. Since you're set at 180 on direct south, you need to swing the dish to 19 degrees more. Once you've swung the motor to 19 degrees, slowly adjust your dish manually on elevation. Once you have lock on the signal that is your alignment on the Clark belt.

You should then see all the birds in the sky by moving several degrees at a time. I hope this helps.
