Deeann had mentioned this in her thread about her tuneup. I had found it about the same time, I guess and thought it would possibly be better to be mentioned by itself. That way it isn't lost in the chatter.

I had started on this page, trying to be sure I was setting up my polar mount correctly (more accurately resetting as I had messed around and lost one end of the arc): http://www.satsig.net/polmount.htm

From there I went to the calculation page where it will calculate your setting angle for your main (polar) axis and the declination angle: http://www.satsig.net/ssazelm.htm

This site appears to be a wealth of information about setting up satellite systems, etc. The calculations seem to be right on, as after I carefully set up the angles, I got the end I lost back.

Hope this info helps someone out down the road.
