Re: [time-nuts] Sidereal time

I'm not sure your friend needs the time at all. Telescope tracking mounts have a periodic error due to non-perfect mechanical parts. The usual way to remove this error is to "train" the mount by manually guiding it through one or more periods, or - probably more common these days - use an opt

Re: [time-nuts] LH CPU usage

I disagree. On modern desktops this behavior will prevent Vista and Win7 from throttling back the CPU. Not being able to throttle back the CPU will make it run hotter and draw more power, which is likely to produce more noise (because the cooling fans need to be sped up) and heat. Yeah, it's

[time-nuts] My low-tech leapsecond observations

I setup my two Garmin consumer GPS receivers - a V and StreetPilot 2610 - in my back yard, along with a laptop to log the serial output from the V and a portable shortwave receiver to hear WWV on 10 MHz. To record things for posterity I pointed a camcorder at the two Garmins with WWV playing a
