C Band dish help

[kdjuan]

Hello Guys I recently had to replace my actuator on my 8ft dish. while replace i accidently moved my mount and lost the arc completely. I was able to get it back on somewhat. Iam able to get sats 91w-101w. Iam needing help with determining my elevation, inclination, declination angles and focal distance and focal point.
my location is 36.8656° N, 87.4886° W.
my dish diameter is 227.33cm
my dish depth is 34.29cm
Attached is my mount.
Thanks in advance.

If the dish was working fine before:
Normally, replacing an actuator shouldn't change anything except for the actuator counts. If the mount turned on the pole, then that will need to be reset. If you pre-mark the pole and mount before beginning... it's simple to realign the marks.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

If you haven't changed anything except for the mount, you should only need to find true south again. The sat at 87W would be the nearest sat to true south for your location. Once your dish mover goes to 87W, you need to adjust the mount until you pick up an active transponder on that sat. Anyway, dishpointer.com says your elevation should be 47.2 degrees when pointed at 87W. Your magnetic azimuth would be 182.7 degrees.
