Hi Dennis,

The magnetic declination varies considerably from location to location and over time. After you have performed a drift alignment, couldn't you just use your compass to determine what it is for your location? Your mounting will be aligned very accurately Noth/South after a drift align.

I get a rough alignment by remembering the angle of the mount with the edge of the verandah. Then I drift align from there.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Have fun,
Doug
