Local Mean Sidereal Time - Alignmaster


Recommended Posts

I need to input the LMST into Alignmaster but I am confused.

My site location according to Heavens Above is:

Lat: 53.8181

Long: -0.9193

It appears that the Long is the most important aspect of this for determining LMST and I used an online converter to get this into degrees as follows:

Lat: 53° 49' 5.16"

Long: 0° 55' 9.48"

I then used a LMST calculator online but I am confused as using more than 1 of these resulted in more than 1 result. How do I get this information simply?
