I use it when I need to know the off-set angle of a dish that I don't have the specs for, you just enter the width and the height. Works great. It is free, unless you are going to use it commercially.

thanks guys !!!

That's a nice program with great options.. Only one question - what is the minutes beside the Lat and Long...

You can show an angle by using the Degrees (360) Minutes (60) and Seconds (60). A Degree is made up of 60 Minutes and a Minute is made up of 60 Seconds.
Using Seconds for FTA is a bit of over kill. IMHO

Okay, I just hadn't seen that before.. Can I put both minutes and seconds on zero and leave it that way.. Thanks

Wow, I'd always been impressed with SatFinder, a Java application.
It's free and does magnetic offset, too.
Nice to have even more choices.

I usually just round it up or down to the nearest degree!
