"This might be what you call the "Equation of Time method". I can see
your "GHA method" gives a more accurate result. Although I have a
couple of versions of analemmas, the best only indicates a result to
about the nearest third of a minute of time. Do you know a better way
to derive the Equation of Time? "
The Equation of Time is given to the nearest second for 0000 and 1200 each day on the daily pages of the U.S. and British Nautical Almanacs. It's in the lower-right-hand corner of the right-hand page. I'm not sure what almanacs look like in other countries.
