Hi Herman, It is my old Lokata 7 RDF which has a really good compass, reading to 0.25 of a degree, but at sea, 1 degree is doing well. I liberated a folding "make up" mirror from my wife and adjust the angle to give a reflected image of the sun or star onto the compass card. Works very well.

I have found a compass that is usable till about H=60°. Above that height it is a guess every time.
