Hello!

Trying to setuP motor and not sure which satellite I should aim for as my southern-most satellite. I try to follow formula for calculation on the southern-most satelite (info from SM3D12 instructions guide) and

ops:

My longitude is 080.30W
latitude is 43.26N
Not sure should I calculate AMC5 on 79.0W or Nimiq2 on 82W as aiming satelite to set-up motor.

Using DVB Nexus-s, progdvb.

You must be near me, I'm at 43 and 79.
Use AMC5.
