Hello John and everybody on this list,
I don't want to extend this discussion endlessly
, but I am surprised to read that the value of
EOT depends on longitude. Perhaps I am totally
wrong, but for me EOT is absolute. It is linked
to the motion of Earth about the Sun and has
nothing to do with longitude. Taking again Jim
Cobb's formula, for any place on Earth :
UT = Local Solar Time - EOT + 12 + Longitude(west
is positive).
The time when EOT = 0 is :
UT = Solar Time + 12 + Longitude ; or
UT = Local Sidereal Time - AD + 12 + Longitude
;and :
UT = Greenwich Sidereal Time - AD + 12
Longitude of the place has gone away.
Am I wrong ?
Best regards
Jean-Paul Cornec
