Hi,
Here are some files I've found regarding the astro compass.
Here's basic instructions.
http://aafcollection.info/documents/bomb/BIF45-4.pdf page 11
http://aafcollection.info/documents/bomb/BIF45-4.pdf page 11
Here's more detailed instructions.
pages 250 to 257
Here's a little blurb on page 40 about using it as a pelorus.
These two are also interesting
Lastly, What the astocompass is, is a torquetum, with the ecliptic plate removed.
Thought you all might enjoy
