Want to move my dish - which is the most viable location?

The green dot represents the dish's current location and the green line is the approximate LOS (according to dishpointer.com). The nearest tree that my current LOS intersects must be shorter that 80 feet at the intersection. That tree is the 2nd tallest in my yard - the tallest is the tree that is bare in the middle of my back yard.

My question is this: If I were to move my dish, which of the two location marked in red above would be the most viable for an AU9 dish? If necessary, I can take pictures from all three locations this evening.

Thanks

I'd say the one closes to the current location. There the arc slope down and away from the tree at the back of the house, On the other location it slopes down and into the tree.

So, based on the data you I have put up here, LOS might be possible from that location? Before switching back to D*, I had a two dish E* set up with the HD dish located just below the peak of the roof at the intersection of the original house and the addition that extends into the back yard (about an inch to the left of the location you suggested in the image). Would that be an even better location due to the additional height?
