its 38 degrees.
Analogy,
put a ball on the ground then a small ball ontop of it, draw a line though the middle of the big ball, then move to where it would be infinity (just a point so to speak) from that point looking back at the small ball is your Declination aka 38 degrees and thats why the further you go towards the south pole the higher your declination becomes, because your looking more and more towards Azmith.
If your looking at it your way you would say that Azmith at your your present location is 90 degrees - 52 degrees from azmith will be the SCP which will land you on 38 degrees anyhow.
One other test is that if you look at where the SCP should be gestimate it, does it look like 40 degrees or 50?
