Moving the dish around

[mchomicz]

Is it just me or is it that the farther away I move from my true south (towards west or east) the smaller the dish movements become necessary (left and right) to catch the next satellite to the east / west?

Thank you,

True the spacing gets much closer, all the satellites are above the equator so if you can imagine that, as you look far east and west the satellites appear closer together even if they are equally spaced.

Thank you. Sure does make sense. And it sure does make me feel better - because it took me a while to figure out jus how little I need to move the dish in order to catch the next "bird" over...

Thank you,
