Sorry to bother people, but does anyone have a copy of satellite angles, (azimuth), for a itech sat dish. Appreciate a copy especially for WA, thanks in advance.

Thanks guys, a great help, it was mainly inclination I was after, not azimuth, my mistake, but this will cover everything, thanks. John

If you have an IPhone down load an app called isatfinder. At a push of button called find me it will give you Latitude and Longitude where you are standing then select the sat you want ( once found you store it in favourites) and bingo it displays
Elevation, Azimuth and LNB skew

Currently in Baldivis, south of Perth, that isatfinder sounds great will definately have a look for that one. Just went to Access antennas today a bought a satlink finder, great service from them, got home and tried it, works a treat, but knowing the correct angle (inclanation) first makes things a lot easier. Cheers. John

Wikicamps comes with a satellite finder that provides all of that type of info for the location of the device as well as a stack of other info. Available for both Apple and Android devices at a really small cost. Its free to try (14 days I think) so give it a go.

try tis one John
http://www.satsig.net/maps/satellite-tv-dish-pointing-australia-new-zealand.htm
The attached pdf file gives the pointing guide for most towns in Australia
NOTE that the elevations given in this document are all 3 degrees high so subtract 3 to get the correct angle.
you can download it to your device and view it offline.
hope that helps
