Yes, leave your current elevation as is right now (46.5) on the main axis.
Put your inclinometer on the back of the dish ring and add 6.6 degrees to the current elevation and move the declination to where it is 6.6 degrees of separation total of 51.25 degrees.
Then put your inclinometer on the main axis and move the main elevation on main axis up to 50.57 degrees which would then give a reading on the back of the ring of 57.18 degrees total.
Think of it this way. The total is the sum of the two parts.
Elevation adjustment plus declination adjustment = total elevation.
Then adjust main elevation axis for signal while pointed at the South Pole, or nearest satellite to it.
Completely Lost??
Thanks linuxman, for the explanation and the great Drawings. I appologize for being a greenhorn on this stuff, mayby I need to go back to school and take Math 101 again, but here is what I think I am reading. First off the Mesh Dish is now pointed at the highest Satellite in the sky for my location - Winnipeg - which is Galaxy 25 or 97.0W. Satellite Reception on Tp's 11966 and 12155 is Not Available, on most of the other KU Band Tp's on 97.0W it is, so the Dish needs some fine tuning.
Now the Math:
Current Settings on my Mesh Dish:Declination Setting - on Small Bar = 56.5, Inclination Setting on Big Bar or Polar Axis = 46.5 So my current Declination Angle right now is: 56.5 - 46.5 = 10 degrees. This is way off.
Objective Needed for Best Satellite Reception:
Declination Setting - on Small Bar = 57.2, Inclination Setting on Big Bar or Polar Axis = 50.6 So the optimum Declination Angle needed is: 57.2 - 50.6 = 6.6 degrees. See picture attached.
Solution to Get there:
This is the part I don't understand. Are you saying Leave my current Inclination on the Big Bar at its current 46.5 degrees, and if I add 6.6 degrees to the current Inclination Setting I get: 46.5 + 6.6 = 53.1 degrees!! So should I drop / adjust my Current Declination on the Small upper Bar from its current setting of 56.5 down to 53.1??
Then once I get Declination Setting on the Small Bar down to 53.1 are you saying to then adjust Inclination from its current 46.5 up to 50.6 degrees to get the Best Satellite Signal? I guess what I don't understand is how does this get us BACK up to a Declination Setting of 57.18 or 57.2 when it will now be at 53.1?? This will give us a final Declination Angle of 53.1 - 50.6 = 2.5 unless I readjust Declination back again from 53.1 up to 57.2? Please Advise as to what I am missing here.
