Firstly, thanks from me also for the information on magnetic south - I also have a question if I can jump on the end of this thread?

I looked up my location and it states: 11 deg 1' East, Declination is Positive, Inclination: -68 deg. Do I need to use all these values or is the Magnetic Declination value required?

So if I use method as Rolls, (a) find magnetic South on my compass, (b) turn left 11 degrees and up 37.5 degrees = SCP for me?

Sorry if this is such a silly question, I'm trying also to get my head around the machanics of setting up a EQ mount in the backyard soon.

Russ
