Dear Jeremy,
You say:
1900 GHA = 349°15.4' Difference of 10°44.6'
Where do these figures come from? In Steve's question GHAMoon was given 349.29° which equals to 349°17.4'. The remaining angle to 360° is 10°42.6', not 10°44.6'. The total change of the GHAMoon between 19UT and 20UT is 10°42.6' + 3.77° = 10°42.6' + 3°46.2' = 14°28.8'.
All in all, my answer is:
(10°42.4' / 14°28.8')° = 0h44m22.8s.
So, the UT when GHAMoon equals 0° is 19h44m23s.
Regards,
Tony
