It is better to have just one LST per date and location at UT =
00:00:00 and then add or subtract the (UT * 1.00274) to get the
LST. This table can be created using the U.S. Naval Observatory
Multiyear Interactive Computer Almanac (MICA) 1800 - 2050
program available from Willmann-Bell, Inc. (URL:
http://www.willbell.com).
Table B-1 shows a sample list of data from MICA. The date and
observation location (a different table is needed for different
locations) are specified. The location's LST for that date at UT =
00:00:00 is then looked up. The observation's UT times 1.00274 is
then added for each observation time.
