I bought a cheapie orienteering compass online to help get a rough alignment prior to setting everything up so that the SCP fall within the range of adjustment fo the mount, but I've found it to be next to useless as the motors skew the needle. There is no parallel surface I can use that will not be too close to the motors and the magnets enclosed within. Even outside of any interference it's pretty crap, wandering all over the place, never seeming to settle definitively.

I don't know much about compasses and what to look for. Any recommendations for a decent one?

Best,

Markus
