Questions, questions, questions???
1) Why do Dishpointer and Sadoun Satellite Dish Look Angle have different Lat/Long, Elev, Az (true/magnetic)? Which one do I use? My zip is 29078.
2) What is declination used for? Do you use elevation for a specific satellite (i.e. G25) or the dish (30 - declination 5.510 - per manual) which equals 24.5.
My motor is set to Latitude 34 (from Sadoun Satellite Dish Look Angle and dish elevation is set to 24.5.
3) What about true south? Do you point motor or dish or both? Is it the true or magnetic azimuth? As I said Dishpointer and Sadoun Satellite Dish Look Angle have differing numbers.
GeoSatFinder agrees with Sadoun SDLA.
Nearest true south Sat Nimiq 2 (82W, compass 188.4, dish elev. 50.2)
What about declination?
Maybe someone can answer one question per response. I would like you to keep it short and simple.
Just a note: Nimiq 2 is not on my receiver.
Thank you sincerely for any help received.
