        Well, I haven't put anything on the reflector since the "bugs".  So, 
here
goes something.

        Declination is the angle of a heavenly body with the earths horizon
        Variation is the offset of magnetic north to true north a some location
        Deviation is the amount of correction persuant to a particular compass 
at
different points around the compass dial, it is not necessarily the same
all the way around.

        So there, I have stuck my neck out again.. HI...
        Hurrah for recurring threads and all the various permutations there 
of!!!!!
