Latitude: 0.0 to +80.0 deg North or 0.0 to -80.0 deg South
Longitude: 0.0 to +360.0 deg East, or 0.0 to -180.0 deg West
Please use decimal degrees: e.g -60.2 (instead of 60 deg 12 min WEST)

The default input values shown (which you need to overwrite) refer to Echostar broadcast satellite at 119 deg west (241 deg east) orbit and a site location in Oklahoma City (36.5 deg north latitude and 97.5 deg west longitude).
Click to test and see the satellite finder results on the lower line.

Satellite orbit (deg E)	Site latitude (degN+, S-)	Site longitude (deg E)

Dish azimuth (deg E relative to true north)	Dish azimuth (deg E relative to magnetic north)

Dish elevation (deg)	Slant range (km)	Polarisation tilt (deg)

Polar mount main axis angle (deg)

Polar mount dish offset tilt (deg)

The azimuth angle relative to magnetic north is not available beyond +/- 60 deg latitude due to increasing inaccuracy in my earth's magnetic field model. The mag. azimuth angle calculated above is approximate. Offset dish elevation angle explanation.

This satelite finder program calculator is to help you with installing and aligning of satellite TV. Dish mounting installation and azimuth, elevation and polarisation alignment should be done carefully - don't fall off the roof!
