Hi All, I am the BSS Webmaster and created that new page on the BSS Web site. From the home page, click on "Where is the sun?". It uses Javascript embedded in the page, and takes the time from your computer's clock, so you could make the page available offline if you wished. It should run in any current browser, I trust, but please let me know if you have problems.
Note that the accuracy of the instantaneous EoT and declination should be good to the nearest second, but I don't recalculate them at dawn, noon and dusk, so the quoted times for those may be a few seconds out. As it uses your computer's clock, you can change the time or date, then refresh the page to get the EoT etc at any other time or date. Once you've told it your Lat and Long, it stores them in a cookie, so you only have to do it once (unless you've disabled persistent cookies). Best wishes to you all Chris Lusby Taylor 51.4N 1.3W ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Carmichael" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "J.
