Dear Greg,

I figure that the transit occurred here at 13-21-24???

Best regards, and thank you again for your advice.

Steve

Steve,
I get 11:51 for meridian passage of the Sun on 9/27/2015. This is for standard 
time. Daylight savings or summer time will be +1 hour 12:51. Then you will 
have to figure arc to time for your longitude. 1° west of prime meridian is 4 
minutes of time later. 1° east is 4 minutes of time sooner. For example if 
you were in Chicago then the meridian passage would be about 8 minutes sooner 
plus 1 hour for daylight savings 12:43.  If LAN is being observed with a 
sextant then there is around 4 minutes either side of meridian passage to 
mark the observation.

Dear Navlisters,
 
How does one determine the meridian passage of the sun using the Nautical 
Almanac 2015 Commercial Edition*, daily pages, specifically referencing the 
data located on the right hand bottom of the far right hand page for 27 
September?
