description An antenna assembly is provided. The antenna assembly includes a parabolic reflector having a parabolic focal point and defining a boresight axis, a radio feed arranged on struts at the parabolic focal point and a calibration system. The calibration system includes a camera attached to the radio feed, a video feed displaying an image of an object generated by the camera, controls for centering the image in the video feed, an antenna rotator for aiming the parabolic reflector toward the object in accordance with the image being centered in the video feed and a controller. The calibration system is operable by first inputs to the controls that are reflected in the video feed and a second input to the controller to calibrate pointing of the parabolic reflector.
