Question:
Arron asked: I just wanted to have you double check my calculations.
Midlothian, VA 23113 USA
Lat. = 37.51
Lon. = 77.64
HH100 motor mount elevation 52.5?
Fortec Star dish elevation 22.5?
Does this look correct to you? Arron

Answer:
Your True South is: 188 on compass
HH100 motor mount elevation should be your Lat. value = 37.5
Fortec Star dish elevation should be 24
Fomula to calculate dish elevation on a
STAB mount is as follows:
Dish elevation (DE) = P - (60 - Lat.)
P : should be calculated here:

P = 46.5
Thus: DE= 46.5 - (60-37.5)= 24
