Last post is very true. True also is that a compass will not necessarily point to the magnetic poles. This is dependant on the earth's magnetic flux at your location.

Where I live it just so happens that aligning the mount to the compass gets me so close to the celestial pole for visual observingthat it doesn't matter .
