parabolic set up

Hello everyone, 

I finally managed to build my own cheap parabolic reflector. No pro stuff at 
all, but I guess it will fit my needs for some time. 

The big question is how to position the microphone (Sennheiser ME 62) on the 
right spot in order to get the most out of the parabola? Searching on the web 
leads to some pretty complex mathematical formulas, and I thought there's ought 
to be someone in this group with a more simple solution :)

Any advice? I built it in such a way that I can move the mic closer or farther 
from the dish. I tried adjusting it outdoors by moving the mic back and forth 
while listening to birds, but it didn't work out very well. 

Cheers, thanks to all.
