Originally used a good quality Silva compass to find true south and ended up giving it away as it was so inaccurate

Got advice from an IIS member and now use the “Solar Noon Meridian” method ( and Stellarium) which is extremely accurate and gets me really close to true south. I have permanent lines marked on the ground to set up my mount in 2 observing locations

So easy now to get roughly polar aligned !!
