My logic for answering the question of where on Earth will it be apparent noon at the instant of the autumnal equinox is:
1. The Greenwich sidereal time at the time of the equinox (Julian day 2455827.87793) is 09:10:36.1
2. We want the longitude where the local sidereal time = 12:00:00 at this instant.
3. The sidereal time difference is 02:49:24.
4. Times 15 for degrees = 42d 20m 59s E.
This corresponds to a meridian passing through Georgia, east Turkey and bit west of Baghdad.
I used The Electric Astrolabe with a Delta-T of 66 sec to get the GST value. Other programs may improve on the result.

This is my Subject;
Finding the position, Longitud, where, the sprig equinox, will ocurr at noon, I found some diference between the results of "The Dialist´s Companion", and "Sun v.5.6 Of R.Cernic", both programs I work for some time.
In Longitud 42°12,80" E at 13:03:42 PM it will be Noon, for my studies
In Longitud 42°12,80" E at 13:03:42 PM it will be Noon, for my studies
Then I placed both programs in Latitud and longitud 0°, and in Sun v5.6 of R.Cernic I got UT 09:03:59 AM and in The Dialist´s Companion, I found the nearest cero declination at 08:44:47AM the altitude measure have a difference of almost 5°, I Know The Dialist Companion I Use vers 1.1.b is old.
Sorry my english, it´s not my first language
Best regards for all of you
