I'm in 55.276 Latitude and -114.769 Longitude. I plan to setup my STAB 120 motor on a 36 dish. Wondering what my south most satellite is?

thank you

Your true south sat would be SatMex 5.

Something is not making sense. You should have aligned your dish on SatMex5 for initial alignment. Providing your dish is properly aligned I see no reason 33 degrees would make it look any more or less on it's side than it does at 82 degrees. What type of receiver are you using and what are you picking up on 82?

You also managed to get yourself banned for a week. I can't believe you have been a member of this forum since 2003 and have not yet read the rules.
