Good morning, What is the latitude sstting for the SG-2100 motor for Latitude 35.5143 (Oklahoma City). This is Olegray, I'm visiting crouchpm (son-inlaw) and forgot to bring my manual with me from home. Thanks
Olegray,
That is it, I mean you already have your latitude setting (same as the latitude coordinate of the site). So, for Oklahoma City, 35.5° on the SG-2100 is the correct latitude setting for the motor. Were you looking for something else????
For Oklahoma City, the True Azimuth should be 97.51°. Magnetic Azimuth should be 92.49°. The Motor Latitude should be 35.46° (the Motor Elevation reading would be 90° - 35.46° = 54.54°).
The Dish Elevation could be 24.3°, but there may be a discrepancy here depending upon your dish antenna make and model and the bend in the motor tube that you have. But, I would take this as a good starting point. Line up for 97.0°W Galaxy 19 and then play with the dish elevation while you pan and scan the azimuth for a signal.
Coordinates: 35°28?56.28?N 97°32?6.72?W or 35.4823°N 97.5352°W
