"Look" Angle for an offset dish

[chapelrun]

Over the long weekend I moved my 1.2 meter Patriot dish to try to get a different satellite.

Here is my problem - - - I cannot figure out the "Look" angle for this dish.

The pole in this picture is completely plumb and the mount even though it is a great mount does not have a scale.

First, does anyone know the offset angle on this dish - - - if I could figure that out I could get much closer to the satellite I'm trying to locate.

Here is my feeble attempt to figure out the "look" angle. Since I know the pole in plumb I just measure the angle of the top line but the reflection angle is just a guess on my part and may be way off.

I'm trying to get to an elevation of 18.2 degrees for Satellite 133W and this was about the only location I could find that even close to line of site.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Here are two pix.

A quick Google of "Patriot, offset, 1.2m" yielded 22 degree offset angle.

I didn't know there is Ku on 133W. Lyngsat says C only. Something i'm missing?
Or is this a mini?

Given your approx coords this is how your dish profile should look. From your pics your dish would seem far to high an elevation.

The lnb looks like C to me. Must be a mini.
