    Re: Moon standstill livestream from Los Angeles

    I have to admit that prior to this year I had not given any attention to lunar standstills, and I still have trouble finding any excitement about them. However, the broadcast beginning Oct 22 0345 UT is at a convenient time for me, so maybe I'll watch.

    Times are PDT (7 hours behind Greenwich) on the Griffith Observatory page and MDT (6 behind) on the Chimney Rock page.
    Location is about 37.192°N 107.306°W.

    A standstill is not a sharply defined phenomenon. However, comparison will reveal small discrepancies in ephemerides and precession / nutation models.
    At 2024 Oct 22 0400 UTC I get geocentric apparent Sun position

    6h13m21.67740s +28°38'54.149" RA, dec
    92°56'36.033"  +5°14'37.946" ecliptic true lon, lat

    with the JPL DE441 ephemeris, IAU 2006 precession, and 2000A nutation.
    On the other hand, the DE406 ephemeris (1997), IAU 1976 precession, and 1980 nutation give

    6h13m21.68253s +28°38'54.148" RA, dec
