NAME

era - calculates the earth rotation angle

SYNOPSIS

era [iso=yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SSZ] [decimal] [site=] [nodut] [help]

DESCRIPTION

This program prints out the earth rotation angle in hh:mm:ss time. It assumes that the UNIX clock is correct and derives the longitude from the telescope server using the tel_status command. If the Universal time specified it corresponds to today's date.

OPTIONS

iso= calculates for the ISO date time.

decimal - prints out the local sidereal time in decimal degrees.

nodut - disables Delta UT calculations.

site= uses the attached string to set the site location rather than the server.
