? What are you trying to do? Azimuth is the heading from your location to some other location (like a compass heading, only corrected for magnetic deviation). Ie there is no such thing as the "azimuth for my area", because you're not saying what you're trying to aim at. The links in the previous response should lead you to links to find the azimuth to various satellites. These are only used if you are intending to use a fixed dish with an AZ/EL type mount. If you are trying to install a motorized dish, then azimuth isn't involved.
