Latitude = 10.8198, Longitude = 76.0879
Lat = 10 degrees, 49.2 minutes North
Long = 76 degrees, 5.3 minutes East
If you want to point a satellite TV dish at the Satellite at = 95 East
orbit longitude
Dish elevation= 64.6, Azimuth= 120.4 (magnetic compass),
Polarisation= -59.5
Polar mounts only: Main angle= 11.1, Downward tilt= 1.6, Motor drive
sideways angle= 22.1
Choose your desired satellite orbit longitude in box below:
95 E NSS 6
You must select the satellite first and then click on the map. If you change
satellite, click the map again nearby the original point till the satellite
Instructions for people in India
Choose the satellite you want to see using the pull down menus at box at the lower left.
Using your mouse cursor move it near your location and then double click or simply drag
the map. The map image will move so that the chosen point is in the centre. The latitude
and longitude of the dot at the centre of the map is then displayed below the map, together
with your satellite dish pointing angles: azimuth, elevation and polarisation. To improve
accuracy, click on the plus sign + in the scale boxes at the left side of the map. The scale
changes so that you can home in accurately on your location. Repeat several times. Select
Satellite or Hybrid version and see the satellite photo image of the ground or even a view of
your own house as seen from space !
Dish pointing (Azimuth and elevation mount):
Set the dish elevation (up/down) angle first. There may be a scale on the back. An
inclinometer may be of use if you know the dish elevation offset angle. Set the feed rotation
polarisation angle also. There may be polarisation rotation scale on the LNB feed horn
throat. Facing the satellite, clockwise polarisation is positive, negative is anticlockwise.
For the azimuth angle (sideways) use a magnetic compass and swing the dish boldly
sideways to find the satellite on the first swing. Then spend half an hour peaking up.
Peaking up is really important for long term service quality and minimum outage time during
rain fades.
Dish pointing (Polar mount):
Only your latitude matters. Set the main motor axis angle and the small downward tilt of the
dish and with the motor central align the dish towards the due south satellite. Motor rotation
angles to the east are positive, to the west negative.

pointing angles calculate again.
The India map comes with the following cities and towns marked Amritsar, New Delhi, Jaipur, Kanpur, Patna, Varanasi, Ahmadabad, Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Kolkata,
Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai and Madurai. As you expand the scale to look more closely, you will see more towns marked and named. The starting satellite shown is
New Skies NSS-6 at 95 east, Intelsat 4 (was called PAS 4) at 72 deg east longitude. You can try INSAT at 74 deg east longitude, above the equator. Choose your required
satellite.

Safety Warning: The results of this page may be in error. The latitude and longitude are not intended for the navigation of aircraft, ship or other vehicle purposes. Dish
pointing angles may be wrong. Magnetic azimuth bearings are approximate. Use is entirely at your own risk. Apply common sense and don't believe every number that
comes out of a computer system. Take care with satellite dish pointing to not injure others by dropping tools or hurting yourself by falling down.
I believe there is a Viasat LinkStar hub satellite plus previous ViaSat installations of Skylinx and StarWire mesh networking systems, as well as a 9-meter ViaSat antenna
at the hub in Voida UP (marked).
