My true south for motor

[wildboys]

My zipcode is 72764
My longitude is 94.1W
latitude is 36.1N
Does this make Galaxy 3 at 95 my true south?

Yes, by 1/10 of a degree ! I just looked at Galaxy 26 as well as G3C and my strongest transponder on the two birds is
G26
12076/V/8688

Because of the strong TP, I'd use G26 as the true south bird, not G3C . Makes it a little easier to acquire the signal. If you have an Invacom QPH031 lnbf ( both circular and linear ports) I'd "rough tune" on 91W Nimiq1, before aligning on Galaxy 26, Nimiq1 is so powerful that it's easy to hit, but conversely TOO powerful for fine tuning your alignment.

I am getting 91 to 97 on all the TP's on G3 95ku and 91 to 97 on all the tp's on G26 also.i am using coolsat 5000 receiver.So will either one be fine to use to set up motor?thanks

Yes. Using USALS to position your dish, either should be fine. Nice signal strength. If your mast is plumb, you should have no problem hitting the arc.

your true south satellite is the same as your longitude
