"Azimuth and Elevation" is a way of locating a geostationary satellite in the sky, based on your latitude & longitude. For the Seattle, Washington area, for example, the basic bird for Dish Network installs is at Azimuth 150, Elevation 34. So to locate the point in the sky where the bird is, you start with a compass heading of 150 degrees (which is 30 degrees East of due South) and then point up 34 degrees above the horizon.
