Thomas you wrote... "Meridian Passage of the Sun = the moment when the sun is exactly due south." This depends of course where the observer is. For example here in Cape Town at 34deg. South, the sun is always North of the observer at local apparent noon (LAN). A better definition of LAN is when the sun is on the observer's meridian. Russell
