I took my Skyscout out on a very cloudy, rainy night here in the NE USA.  
First I had it locate Saturn, right behind that cloud it said.  No way to 
verify that by vision.

Then I took my bar magnet and approached the device until it was about 1 foot 
(300 mm) away.  The magentic field complaint appeared. As I pulled the magnet 
away, the complaint disappeared.  Although there was some directional 
sensitivity (top vs side vs front, etc) it was about a very unscientific 
foot.

Next I took the same magnet and attempted to lift a paper clip up off of a 
table.  I had to approach to within 1 inch (25 mm) for it to move the paper 
clip.

That ends the "highly scientific" analysis. It sensed a small field at an impressive distance.

I didn't try to see how it affected pointing accuracy, since there was nothing to see!

Best Regards
Brad
