Mike: Why is the magnetic compass important to you? Once you center Polaris, adjust your Azimuth scale needle to zero, you are ready to go! If using the digital inclinometer, I don't even have to level the scope. Rarely, is an object completely out of the view, & when it is, it's because I got sloppy on setting the degree needle.

It sounds difficult, & yet it sounds so simple that one thinks, no way can this work; but it does, indeed work beautifully.

I appreciate everyone's input to this thread, it's been a great help to all!
