Re: synchronize dish with satellite arc

Just to help more, the center of arc showed into pics is the located to south and the highest satellite from your position is the central satellite.
The easy way to point well a motorized dish is this: set the motor to the to center satellite in your country (using receiver commands) it has the highest elevation, set the declination on motor, set the elevation on dish. Move the motor from pole (don't turn the motor axe but the motor block on dish) so to point the stored satellite, adjust the elevation if needed. Now move the motor using the receiver to last east satellite if you not recive it try to push up and down the dish and check the signal, remember in which direction you need to push to have better signal, now move the motor ever using the receiver to the last west satellite and do the same. If you need to push the dish into same direction to east satellite to have better signal your declination is poor so increase it and re-check all. You can refer to pics showed up to know what to do.
