    For 9:07 UT at Hartlepool I get a deviation of 35.6° west based on image compass card shadow -180°.° .

    165° magnetic compass bearing of Sun

    -1.5° west variation 

    163.5°

    127.9° true

    35.6° west deviation (which is excessive)

    Bill,

    If you have a GPS position and UT time of image then the reflected Sun or shadow on compass card can be checked with an azimuth reduction.

    Took this this morning at 0907 in Hartlepool and thought folks might be interested. There is a huge error as we are next to a massive steel column that secures the pontoon. It should be 306 True 307 Magnetic.
