offset angle

Hello,

I don't see any discussion in the posts of how to deal with the offset angle of the dish when setting the elevation. I am looking for Galaxy10R from Phoenix, AZ. Elevation calc. indicates 49.4'....do I need to subtract the 24' offset of the dish from this and point the dish at 25.4' off vertical.

thanks,
rsheridan

No, you don't have to do that. Just use the elevation scale on the mount.
The dish manufacture already did that when they come up the the angle number on the mount.
Just be aware that your dish will look like aiming at 25 degrees although it aims at 49 degrees.
