To determine the azimuth and elevation to use with your C-Band dish,
you must first obtain the dish's longitude and latitude.
Next, use that information with a satellite look-angle calculator.Please note that you will need to enter the satellite longitude manually.
The above calculator includes magnetic effects in its calculations.
If the calculator you used does not,
you will need to determine this
adjustment separately.
Add the computed declination amount to the previously obtained
azimuth, resulting in the azimuth you will use.
Point the dish to the indicated elevation and azimuth.
