# 5, in my most recent post, should say:

.

To determine the hour-angle of the mean-Sun:

.

1. Convert the minutes in the LMT to a fraction of an hour.

.

2. Subtract 12 hours from the LMT, or add 12 hours to the LMT…whichever
gives a number between 0 & 24.

.

3. Multiply the result by 15.

-----------------------

The reason for this correction is that I’d forgotten that hour-angle & time
are reckoned from different starting-points:

Hour angle is measured from the meridian (in the south)…

…& time is measured from the anti-meridian.   i.e. from when the Sun or the
mean-Sun is at the anti-meridian.
