Narrative:
Our takeoff clearance included a turn to 180 degrees. I thought the clearance was to turn to 120 degrees and started a turn after takeoff. The first officer was busy cleaning up the airplane and did not notice I was turning. He noticed I was turning and said that the clearance was to a 180 degree heading. I reversed the turn as the tower controller said turn to 180 degrees. The tower had no other comment.
