I wrote previously:
"The angle between the arcs ZP and ZS is the local apparent time that we're looking for."
And Bill Noyce, you corrected that to:
"The angle between the arcs PZ and PS is the local apparent time that we're looking for."

As a penance, I am attaching a little diagram that I prepared for a class.
