If you use the battery method mentioned earlier in this thread, you will not have to adjust the skew with each move. But, to do that, you need to set/move the dish to it's highest point (the point where it is balanced, takes very little effort to hold it). This is the point where either way you move the dish, it decreases in elevation. Then aim it the best you can at TRUE south. I can't remember the sites that list all the information for you, but I'm sure they have been mentioned in this thread, but you will get a TRUE and a MAGNETIC bearing to your southern most satellite. Note the difference between the two and adjust appropriately for a Magnetic bearing to TRUE SOUTH. Use that to line up the dish on True South. You will probably end up off a bit, but the closer you can get the better. Now lightly tighten down the bolts on the pole. Just enough to hold it for the next steps.
Now, it's time to set up a receiver, TV and the battery out by the dish. Determine which direction you need to move the dish to get on your southern most satellite. Now check "The List" here or go to Lyngsat.com and find an active transponder, write down the data for it and a couple of others (just in case). Now fire up your receiver and TV, set the receiver to the channel you chose. Unless you are right on the longitude of your southernmost satellite, you will have zilch showing on the TV. Now set the receiver to show you the Q strength, not just Signal, as signal usually just lets you know that the LNB is working.
You are now ready to move the dish. Hook proper gauge wires to the motor terminals and bring over to the battery. You will have to test to see which wire goes to which terminal to move the dish in the proper direction. You will then just touch the wires to the battery, to just bump the dish slightly. Be slow and patient, as most receivers respond somewhat slowly. Watch for Q to start to show, then peak it as best you can using the battery. Now, assuming that you had the elevation and declination set properly, but will probably have to adjust the elevation a bit, while watching the Q, lightly push the dish left/right and up/down. Make note of which direction improved the Q, that is the direction you need to move the dish. Elevation, via the adjustment mechanism on the mount. I would probably work the elevation first, then bump with the motor left/right to peak again, then repeat the push/pull procedure. Now, if you see an increase in Q when you push the dish left, then you need to loosen the pole bolts JUST ENOUGH to let you rotate the entire assembly on the pole, then move the entire assembly VERY SLIGHTLY to the left, all while watching the Q. Max Q is what we are looking for.
Once you have where you can't notice any improvement when you do the push/pull procedure you have that satellite pegged. Now, we need a list of all the satellites on each side of the southern most satellite. You will need to use the battery to bump over to the next satellite and check an active transponder there to be sure you know which satellite you are on and check your Q. Might want to write down the Q reading from each satellite, as it may help you later. Continue this until reach the limit of where you can see, or where you no longer care if you can get the next on or not. If, you get where you can't get the next satellite, don't panic back up the last one you got and do a push/pull and make notes of which did what to the Q. Now, go back to your southern most satellite, and repeat going the other direction.
If you did a good job at aligning to Due South, you should be done. But, odds are that you missed by just a smidgeon. If when out on the East extreme your Q improves when you push the dish down, and out on the Western edge the Q improves when you lift up on the dish, then your dish is aimed just a smidgeon to the east of due south. So the whole assembly needs to be just every so slightly moved to the West. If the Q improvements are the opposite, then reverse the direction of movement.
One very important thing to remember, A LITTLE BIT OF ADJUSTMENT GOES A LONG WAY. You are aiming at an object 22,500 miles out in space and that object about the size of a chest freezer a maybe a bit bigger. A tiny bit here on earth, is a big bit when you get to the satellite. Be patient and go slow. If you start to get frustrated, it is time for a break. When you get your first image, it will be a lifetime memory.
Forgot to mention this. Be sure to tighten up all the locking nuts and the pole bolts.
