Find A Satellite  
 

This tool helps you find obstacles (like trees or buildings) between an installation location and an
orbiting satellite. With an address, it shows the vertical angle from the horizon and compass heading
so you can know the perfect installation placement at any location.

All that is needed is the satellite's name (or its "longitude"), and any installation address worldwide.

Select satellite or longitude
Type in any installation address
Press "Return"

 

Elevation: is how high from the horizon the satellite is (90° is vertical)
Azimuth: is simply the compass heading.
LNB skew: is used for installers in fine tuning the LNB radio axis.

 
 
This page when first loaded shows satellite "Galaxy 18" at 123° West Longitude, which is a popular Ground Control North American satellite. Type in an actual address for a precise calculation.
