Doug, Happy to send some other examples of how ACG worked mag var in the bush, but you have to pay the piper first and explain it to me i.e. what was the basis of that technique, how it worked, what was he trying to achieve with the solution to that restricted celestial triangle?

Variation Keiran,I spent some time over the last few days studying and getting familiar with Gregory's technique you sent.It took some digging and refamiliarisation with the haversine tables but I see how and why it was accomplished.All my questions were answered. Do you have another technique for finding variation you can share with us?
