    Is this set up right missing satellites

    This is my m8's set up using a Dark Motor.

    He has said he has never had 30 Degs west or 39 degs east.

    I now have a totally different set up but has he got the motor upside down ?

    Looks the same setup as me with my Technomate Motor and 1.1 Triax dish.
    I can get from 42 East to 22 West,....it would go further except for trees.

    The two red arrows I have added to your photo are vital for perfect alignment. They must be spot-on for his position.
