Hi All,
I have been out in the OB at every clear sky i get, I have been having a few problems finding the Celestial South pole, I know im close but not close enough and i have think it has something to do with my compass... I have used my Iphone, a Android tablet, my sons scouts compass, and a old naval compass, and when i place them down a good 2 meters apart, they all point in different directions!!! Now im not talking a few degrees, im talking between 10 - 90 degrees!!! which makes working out how many degrees from Magnetic South it is to Celestial South almost an impossibility. There are no metallic objects close and no magnetic interference
I just dont get it!! is there a way of "Sheilding" the compass to prevent this from happening??
Cheers
James
