I am having same exact problem, no matter what I tried.
I am in (deep south Texas) Mission, TX
Latitude = 26
Declination Angle (for 26 Latitude) = approx 4.4
I have a
motorized system (Digi) that calls out a declination angle of 30 minus 4.4.
So based on my interpretaion I set my elevation @ 26, and my declination @ 26.
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ! My wife wants to watch the Chinese New Years tomorrow.
