Correction.
Found my compass and lined it up to where Venus appeared over the top of of the neighbours, seems to be an angle of about 90 deg to magnetic north.
Will check it later, hopefully, although the cloud cover has returned, so looking unlikely.
So, as it stands, 299 - 11 = 288 = 72 deg, I seem to be missing about 18 deg using a magnetic declination of 11.3 deg. (if indeed the 11.3 should be subtracted).
Ha ha.
This all started with me wanting to find a few stars to enter into the goto mount, so I thought I'd write a simple program to tell me what was where.
Then I saw Venus, but it wasn't where I thought it would be. Still, I'm closer now than I was.
