Step 1 Working with the Greenwich time and date, calculate the number
of centuries before (-) or after (+) 1200 1 Jan 2000.

Number for the year ___,___,___ year ____
Number for the month __,___,___ month ____
Day ___ x 86,400 = _,___,___
Hour ___ x 3,600 = __,___
Minute ___ x 60 = _,___

aggiungere 86,400
Total seconds ___,___,___ / 3,155,760,000 =

Step 2 Calculate the GHA of Aries, GHAA, in revolutions. Remove the
integer part of the number leaving the decimal part. It can be either
positive or negative. If it is negative, add 1 to it to make it
positive. Multiply the revolutions by 360 to convert it to decimal
degrees and if desired to degrees and minutes.
GHAA = 0.7790573 + 36,625.0021390T + 0.0000011T^2
- 0.0000122sin(125.0 - 1934.1T) - 0.0000009sin(200.9 +
72,001.7T) =
____._______ rev.
_0._______ rev (decimal part)
0._______ rev (if negative, decimal part + 1)
___.____ ° ___ ° __._ '
Step 3 Calculate the Sun's mean anomaly.
g = 357.528 + 35,999.051T
____.____°
Step 4 Calculate the ecliptic longitude of the Sun.
EL = 280.466 + 36,000.771T + 1.915sin(g) + 0.020sin(2g)
____.____°
Step 5 Calculate the obliquity of the ecliptic.
e = 23.440 + 0.015T
__.____°
Step 6 Check to see if cos(EL) is positive _ or negative _.
Calculate the GHA Sun. Add 180° to the value if the cosine of EL is
negative. Add or subtract multiples of 360° until the answer is
between 0 and 360°
GHA Sun = GHAA - tan-1(cos(e)tan(EL)) (+ 180° if cos(EL) is negative)
___.____° ___ ° __._ '
Step 7 Calculate the Declination of the Sun. Negative values are
south; positive are north.
Dec Sun = sin-1(sin(e)sin(EL))
___.____° _ __ ° __._ '

...........il 2000 e' bisestile quindi c'e' un giorno in piu'.Grazie per aver messo a disposizione il tuo metodo. Quando mi deciderò ad imparare ad usare il sestante (spero presto) lo studierò. Però, che io sappia, il 2000, come tutti gli anni divisibili per 400, non è bisestile.
