Telstar 12 elevation and azimuth for Toronto?

Hi,
I'm interested in receiving ANT - it looks like it is transmitted on Telstar12 but I cannot find any azimuth/elevation calculator that shows Telstar12 for Toronto. Any help is appreciated.

I found a calculator which shows (for Buffalo):
Azimuth: 108.4
Elevation: 10.3

Would this be close enough?
Will I be able to receive it with Fortec Ultra + 30 inch dish?

Thanks in advance.

I found the elevation/azimuth:

Elevation 9.75 degrees
True azimuth 108.32 degrees
Azimuth compass bearing 119.00 degrees
Polarization offset -43.71 degrees

Should I point to 108.32 or to 119?
Anyone else looking at this bird?

Thanks

What's ANT? use the real azimuth or just move your dish sout east and southwest until you get a lock.

Yes, there is a Greek channel and a rdaio channel in Greek. You can get Telstar 12 with small dish like 60 cm.
There is also a Greek channel on Galaxy 10 R.
Enjoy and tell us how good is your reception of Telstar 12

I'm installing next weekend and hope to be able to catch ANT on Telstar12 (I've got the motorized variant with 90cm dish from Sadoun).
Will let you know how it goes.
