The USNO MICA program was pretty close to Horizons, about 2 > seconds of TT different. Again the same mistake: Paul solved for dec = 0, instead of lon = 0. The correct time is 6:49:42 TT, corresponding to 6:48:38 UT. Fred, I tried to forward to the list two of my own messages and one written by George Huxtable at the occasion of the spring and fall equinoxes of 2002. Maybe, this does not work, if the list server does not permit it. If the messages don't get through, you might want to check the archives for these times. Herbert Prinz
