Satellite Look Angle Calculator

To know the Azimuth and Elevation your dish needs in order to receive a particular satellite:

  1. Select the required satellite in the "satellite" table.
  2. Select your location in the "location" table and click on "calculate look angle".

If the satellite you are looking for is not located in the "satellite" table, simply enter its location in the "longitude" field. If the location you are looking for is not located in the "location" table, simply enter its location in the "n lat" and "w lon" table.

  • The azimuth reading you will get is geographic.
