I've heard about the trick when turning to compass headings where you split up the rose in 10 degree increments with 0 being on 90* and 270*. So if you are turning to 360 from a heading you would undershoot 30 degrees (plus presumably half your rate of turn). While this isn't exact, I suppose it gets you in the ballpark.
When does this trick actually come in to play? when you are more than 30 degrees off heading? 45? Because if you are at 330 and want to turn to 360 this trick doesn't really do much help.
And in this case, do you just resort to a timed turn of 10 seconds for every 30 degrees?
Thanks!
