Long/Lat & Time Zones - Pragmatic Suggestion

[Guest guest]

Om Guruve Namah,

Dear Guru Sanjay and Narasimha-bhai,

Certainly. I will indeed collate and forward a list of such places

(plus Long and Lat and time variations). However, such a manual list

will always require continuous correction and updating.

Hence, allow me to postulate a practical alternative/suggestion.

Andrew (Shree Jyoti), Solar Fire, Astrodienst and all the leading

Western Astrology programs subcsribe to and incorporate the ACS Atlas

in their software.

This generates the widest possible list of long/lat coordinates as

well as accurate Time Zone indices and Summer/Daylight saving Time

variations.

I believe this Atlas publisher charges a reasonable annual fee. And

there could be other such Atlas providers in USA.

 

Narasimha-bhai: Could you kindly explore the possibility of

incorporating this Atlas in JHora and ascertain the cost

implications.

I will gladly contribute towards these expenses. No doubt other gurus

and serious Jhora users will also pitch-in. Sponsors can also be

arranged. [in any case, finance will not be a problem].

 

You have expended " pain-staking hours of blood, toil and tears " to

create the best possible software for astrological study/research.

 

The least we can do is to support and finance further improvements to

ensure that JHora retains its status as the pre-eminent Vedic

Astrology program.

 

Best regards - Prashun

Narasimha can help if we can give him a list of places with Lat and

Long to add. I did that homework for him and expect that this should

be easy to cut and paste into any code. Could you help as well with

the others you mention?

Best wishes and warm regards,

Sanjay Rath
