Magnetic declination is 8° West.. Compass readings are Magnetic North - the calculations include the Declination (do not adjust your compass). (Click here for an explanation of declination.) Civil Twilight is defined as the time when the sun is 6° below the horizon. Times followed by an asterisk are British Summer Time.

These figures assume a nautical horizon; if the horizon is obscured by mountains or buildings, use the location diagram below to estimate the azimuth (compass bearing) of rising/setting. If your application requires a high degree of accuracy, it is recommended that you use these figures merely as a guidleine for your own observations.
