Default For the math wizards here

Problem for latitude 28.28°N, longitude 16.25°W


Three satellites at 13°E, 19.2°E and 28.2°E

Azimuth compass bearing for satellite at 28.2°E = 122.50 degrees

Elevation = 31.56°

Azimuth compass bearing for satellite at 13°E = 136.95 degrees

Elevation = 43.96°

I gotta position the parabolic satellite so that it's aimed at a spot in the
sky right in the middle of these two coordinates:

Solution: Azimuth compass bearing = 129.7 Elevation = 37.76°

I know we have some math wizards here, so you all better check my
calculations, as I'm going to be relying on this hodge-podge to stay
informed of the Summer's events via Fox News, BBC World, Sky News, CNBC,
NPR
