I recently got a Selfsat kit to install at my mother house in Ireland (she lives out side Bantry ,in the town of durrus).The azimuth sheet does not show the town of bantry it only show the city of Cork as closest region .

First question:
What cororinates would I use for the town of Durrus ?
here is the link to the azimuth for Irland:
IRELAND AZIMUTH

Under Cork what the the numbers 51n90, 8w46 how do you use them?

Under astra 1d/1a what is the number 23.5 E mean ?

I have no Number on my Azimuth guage on the dish How do I use it?

I tryed asking Self-sat Custermer service but they say to look at web site which I have to no availe.

Some nice spelling gaffes on that page like

Atelone

and

Tuerksat

There are sites where one can enter the longitude and latitude of your town and it will work out azimuth elevation and skew

For Durrus (near Bantry)
Lat = 51 deg 37 min 16 sec North
Lon = 9 deg 31min 20 sec West
