55 is measured from vertical as 0 reference, isn't it? Turn instrument 90 degrees.
90 - 55 = 35 35 being your Lat. So that would be close to correct. following pic, horizon = 0
Also, all these angles are only adjusted at ZENITH,
WOW! You just summed up pages upon pages and threads upon threads with ONE PICTURE! I went outside in the dark just to check it on a different reference point with the same tool, and it was DEAD ON @ 35 degrees. Why a diagram like this is not a Sticky is beyond me.
I was still a little unsure about things having read through countless threads, but now I GET IT! Thank you so so much FatAir!
90 degrees minus your Latitude (35.2 degrees) = ~55 degrees - so looks like the right place to me.

Thanks Bob, I had my angle finder on the wrong side of the Scale, but I guess it wasin the right spot all along.
I We may not have identical hardware, but if we do, I'd definitely look at the declination adjustment, at true south.
I remember looking at your photos in the install section and Im pretty sure that our hardware is identical. Your latitude is ~43 degrees, so ~11 degrees more than mine. We shouldn't be that much different, should we?
Needles to say, my dish follows the arc pretty well considering my mast isnt plumb. Im "Ghetto Moving" it, as ICE would say. I cant wait for the V-Box!
