Hi,
I have setup my satellite and have found Nimiq1 and Nimiq2 sats. I am trying to get Galaxy 25 sat. I am using USALS mode right now. What can I do to get this sat? I have got Nimiq1 and then moved the whole sat west and east and cant find it. I see on Dishpointer.com that galaxy 25 is set at 43dgrees but my true south dish elevation is 29degrees do i need to move the dish to 43 or leave it at 29. My motor is a lat39 which i have not moved. Pls help me find this sat.

Thanks

start by resetting your motor to zero. then aim the whole assembly on the pole to your true south. then usings usuals move the dish to AMC 16 at 85 degrees west your true south sat see lyngsat for active transponder freq. then move assembly east and west in small slow movements to you receive a lock on the sat if no lock try rasing or lowering dish elevation by 1 degree and try east and west again continue this method untill you get best quality lock on your true south sat once that is done the other sats should be aligned.
