Thank you Stewart, mine has a tiny silver knob which could be it, I did notice it today only by making a mount for a mobile phone. Will have to try it in daylight,no stars yet.
Can confirm SkyEye does not pickup a magnetic field, if mobile is mounted above the finder scope, have yet to confirm accuracy, in practice.If anywhere near main scope-magnetic field detected.
I aligned with the sun but not looking at it- seemed to be close.
Apparently an RACI (right angled correcting piece will help)for use without smart aids.
For use with star charts(credit Barx1963)
