The Sidereal Time calculator module
Sidereal Time
This module converts between Universal Time and Local Sidereal Time. First, select a geographic location and a date for the calculation. Then the corresponding value for the other Time will be displayed.
There is a batch mode for this module. To use it, simply generate an input file whose lines each contain values for the input parameter: Compute sidereal time or Compute standard time from to left dropdown box. You can choose to set the Date: and Location: in the current window, or you can tell to read these values from the Input file:. Then specify the input and output filenames, and press the Compute button to generate the output file. The output file will contains values for the complementary parameter. For example, if your input file contains a set of standard time values, then each line of the output file will contain values for sidereal time. You can read the output directly in by pressing the View output... button.
