Default Compass dip - questions for the southern Hemisphere people.

Sorry Oz. I was just trying to respond to what I thought was a genuine
request for information. I just can't stop myself trying to help those
seeking information...

Cheers MC

You are correct. The dip would throw the card off and might be a
problem. In fact some tasco binocs with built in compass sold here did
not work for the reason! No compass seeks the pole(s). They just align
themselves with local field. If you look at a large scale chart with
variation the lines can often wander a great deal (let alone the local
anomalies).

Aaaaargh!
Ya always gotta show how smart you are!
I was hoping that Cappy might bail out of the internet porn for a few
minutes and actually learn something about his "trade".
