Rudder, kind of similar experience that apoman(Pete). kal(Andrew) and I had at apoman's place. We had tried a few times to get polar aligned and alwasy seemd to be just off. Finally Pete did the solar noon sundial stick thing and painted the shadow line. I kept telling them lets just trust the sun and they kept trusting the compa in the end the shadow line was spot on. The reason may have had something to do with the buzzing High Voltage Power lines les than half a km away was concluded to be the source of the compas error, but not sure. Even the electronics compas was off.
