A method for pointing an antenna can include positioning, by a positioner, a beam of an antenna mounted on a vehicle to an initial angular position towards a target satellite based on an initial pointing direction for the antenna, the initial pointing direction being defined in a fixed reference plane and communicating, from the antenna, a signal with the target satellite, wherein the positioner controls an orientation of a pedestal of the antenna. The method also includes, executing, by an antenna control unit (ACU), an offset compensation operation of the antenna. The offset correction operation can include adjusting a pointing direction of the antenna to a plurality of angular positions and selecting a scan offset angle based on measured signal metrics for the plurality of angular positions. The method can include calculating a yaw compensation of the antenna based on the initial pointing direction and on a yaw pointing direction.
