I know we're supposed to face towards Jerusalem when praying/davening. For most of us in the Europe or the Western Hemisphere, we're used to facing "Mizrach", east.
How precise should we be? If I'm in Hotzenplotz and a straight line to Jerusalem is 5 degrees south of east, do I just face east, or 5 degrees south of east?
Similarly, if my house isn't strictly compass-oriented (e.g. it faces an avenue in Manhattan, 29 degrees east of north), do I daven towards a corner, or just pick the wall in the room that's most oriented towards Jerusalem?
