Well, I guess if I can use it outside it should be enough, although the compass didn't seem to be perfect. Maybe 90%. As I said, I could buy something to cover up the balcony railing.
Like you, Sil, I would be happy enough to get some help with it. It doesn't have to be perfect...
Still waiting for Celestron to answer...
You can't 'cover' magnetic objects up. You can only remove them, or get further away from their influence.
