Title: Polar mount dish pointing angles
Post by Eric Johnston on Nov 25^th, 2010 at 10:40pm

The setting of the two angles for a polar mount has long been a problem. �My method for working out the main motor axis angle and the small downward tilt angle for the dish has always been approximate.

Telmo Ghiorzi has published a proper mathematical solution, complete with a nice YouTube video. Well done Telmo!.
