Dear Friends
Thanks for the positive comments!

Well, you could include both ways. This is a really nice resource you have
provided. Did you already say the reference for your high precision
calculations? -Bill

I also write astronomical algorithms and astronomical software. And I
also use Meeus for my inspiration.
Meeus, though an astronomer, also recommends measuring from South, but I
have decided over several astronomical products to continue measuring
from North, which more laymen are familiar wit
Dear Kevin,

So am I!
That said, this is a bit like being

Dear Friends
Thanks for the positive comments!
And thanks to Gianni Ferrari, Patrick Powers, Edward French and Jack Aubert for
pointing out the MAJOR error in the Annual Equation of Time Table.
It was giving EoT values across the table instead of down, which is an error I
had corrected before -

Hello Kevin,
I make you my compliments for your good work !
I did some tests comparing your results ( first table) with those given from an
old program (SUNEPH, bonus with The Compendium June 2003) : are the same.
But I would like to point out two things:

Dear Friends
I have been amusing myself with the astronomy of the Sun and have done a very
complete coding of Meeus' routines for finding EoT, altitudes, azimuths, etc,
etc. These deal with precession, nutation, aberration, parallax and the
differences between TT, UT1 and UTC time. This has yi
