Disp "M:D:YEAR" is a reminder
for the forthcoming prompt (Prompt A,B,C) that asks for the month,
day and year as 2, then 5, and finally 2002. The second prompt asks for
the hour, minute and second (UT) of interest. Remember, that if the desired
UT moves into the next day, you must input the following day at the "B"
prompt. For example, at 20:00 MST, UTC is 03:00-the following day.
This algorithm is
written for MST as the output. You must correct for the desired time
zone and for the deviation of your location of interest relative to the
start of the appropriate time zone. Thus, 7.124619445
designates 27 min 43 sec west of the start of the MST zone (+7 hr relative
to UTC).
This algorithm provides
the local sidereal time to the nearest whole second but can provide greater
accuracy by simple manipulation of the decimal point prior to data output.
<= denotes less than or equal to
The output data are accurate to the nearest whole second
