INSTRUCTIONS

If you want to try and receive a certain satellite, then you can get the Azimuth and Elevation for that satellite from where you are trying:

1. Pick the satellite that you want in the 'Satellite' field.
2. Select your location in the 'Location' field and click on 'Calculate Look Angle'.

If the satellite you are looking for is not located in the 'Satellite' chart, enter its location in degrees in the 'Longitude' field.
Example: Enter 91 for Nimiq or Galaxy 7.

If the location you are looking for is not in the 'Location' chart, enter its location in the 'North Latitude (+90° to -90°)' and 'West Longitude (0° to +360°)' charts.

With this Calculator you will get an azimuth value which requires the magnetic deviation of your location to be added or subtracted to or from it. Then you will have the real compass bearing. Go get the Magnetic Deviation Chart. Happy hunting!
