This is an application that computes the date and time in formats appropriate for astronomers - julian date, sidereal time, modified julian date, truncated julian date. Extremely accurate, includes correction for apparent sidereal time.

Those compiling SolarClock from the source will have noticed a number of "warnings" issued by C# Express when you try and compile the software. It emerges that Microsoft have decided to deprecate half of the objects that I used in SolarClock after Beta 2. Unfortunately, this has caused the delay between v0.9.2 and v0.9.9, which will be released today. Not all MS warnings have been eliminated, only the most severe. I will work on removing all warnings for v1.0 v1.0 (Scheduled for release in February 06) will be the last version of SolarClock created using C#. I am currently working on a POSIX version of the same mathematics, without graphical representation, and this will form the basis of any future versions.
Hello world! Just a brief status update for the SolarClock project. Firstly, v0.99 will be released this week - maybe even tonight. Delay has been caused by my computer completely dying - I lost a lot of changes and had to work from a out-dated CVS version - probably my fault I admit. Secondly, work is underway on v2.0. Ultimately this is the project that will take over the work of the Solar Clock as we know it. It's based upon an entirely new Mathematical formula, which at the moment is too slow and clunky. Thirdly, donations are appreciated. We actually have a WWW based version of the Solar Clock project... it would cost us about $12 (6-ish) a month to run. Looking forward to hearing your comment on the 0.99 release, as this will be the last release before v1.0 - the only changes will be bug fixes.... no further optimisation.
