Dish Setup - Angle Calculators
This is an excellent tool, and free, as are each of these
 Satellite Antenna Alignment http://www.al-soft.com/saa/satinfo.shtml It has a very useful section for aligning motors due-south based on the position of the Sun. One of the most commonly used utilities is here: Swedish Microwave's SMW Link http://www.smw.se/FreeSoftware.htm Idiot-proof utility, but only allows input of long/lat in whole degrees. No big deal. Also, it does not give you the declination angle for motorised setups - you'll have to look this up in a declination table. Finally, this tool is recommended by many: Gorbtrack http://members.chello.nl/%7Eberry.walda/Index_EN.htm |

Re: Dish Setup - Angle Calculators
Not quite a calculator, but this site helps you line up your dish using the sun or moon.
Place satellite dish using sun or moon |
