    The clamp at the back of the dish is where you set for the declination angle. For most of Ireland, the declination angle will be about 7 degrees. However, the actual setting you use is based on your model of motor and it requires an adjusted declination angle using a specific formula. This will be in your manual.

    This will (hopefully!) clarify things:
