Declination Offset Angle ?

[sikma]

Does anyone know how to determine what my declination offset angle will be on my P* dish..........my zip is 54024 I know I will aiming at IA6 for my true south satellite and my elevation (on the polar mount) will be 38-degrees.

I think I just found out..........if I read Sadoun's site correctly, my offset angle will be about 6.8 degrees lower that my elevation angle on my polar mount. Again Sadoun comes through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds funny... but I figured mine out by freeze-framing 'Tracking made easy'. It actually meshes with what I interpelated from the SG2100 manual. That's pretty scarey!

I've since found this page:
