I just took a look at UbiSol for the first time. I noticed that the legal
time was 5:25 and the solar time was 12:25. (at default coordinates) This
is a huge 7 hour difference. Shouldn't the difference be equal to the
Equation of time?
Thanks, John, for testing my script. Well, the program takes the local
time from your computer but
you have to introduce by hand your local coordinates. Click on the link
"change coordinates" and
write them on hte blanks.
Also, the exact value of the EOT would be a useful addition to the data.
Mmmmh.... The value of the EoT I give is accurate +/- 5 seconds. It is
enough for sundialing, and
if we wanted more, we'd have to use one of these ad-hoc algorithms that
seem taken from Harry
Potter's magic book. I'd prefer that users could be able to see in the
source code the steps I've followed
and eventually improve them.
By the way, some users have asked me on how to download the JavaScript
file Hhoras.js . These
are the steps:
1. In your browser press File -> Save. If you are requested to save as well
the related *.js and *.css files answer Yes.
2. Now in your computer search and edit the Hhoras.js source code file
You can use any text editor you like or any commercial web builider like
DreamWeaver.
Best regards,
Anselmo
