    Re: [9955]time of meridian passage accuracy
    From: Peter Hakel
    Date: 2009 Sep 27, 11:24 -0700
    I worked out the example from the paper and obtained the following result:

    UT of LAN:               19:55:44
    Latitude at LAN:        N   33 deg 39.7'
    Longitude at LAN:    W 118 deg 17.0'


    Data from the paper:

    UT of LAN:               19:55:42                    (difference: -2 seconds)
    Latitude at LAN:        N   33 deg 40.0'        (difference: +0.3')
    Longitude at LAN:    W 118 deg 16.6'        (difference: -0.4')

    I hope Jim doesn't mind if I upload a .pdf of his paper about timing of meridian passage. Follow the link.
