[net.astro] Wanted: reference to algorithm to convert sidereal to mean time

khw@druil.UUCP (WilliamsonK) (11/11/85)

I am looking for a reference to an algorithm that will convert sidereal
time to mean time.  I have the one from "Practical Astronomy with
your Calculator" by Peter Duffet-Smith, but this does not always
work, as it fails to disambiguate the two sections of the mean
day that have the same sidereal time input.

Please respond by mail
