Someone asked me about accurate calculations of the equation of time. Since it
relates to keeping time, leap seconds, and days perhaps someone on the list can
shed light on it.
Most graphs of EoT appear accurate to the minute. Is it possible to predict the
equation of time to the millisecond level? How complicated are the equations.
What sorts of non-obvious corrections does one need to apply at the seconds
level or milliseconds level?
Are the simple formulae given in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time
valid at this level, or is there serious literature that goes into far more
detail.
Thanks,
