UTC Time Servers


Recommended Posts

My friends at NPL (National Physical Laboratory, UK) operate what is probably the world's most accutate Standard Clock at present and which provides their UTC(NPL) service here :-

http://www.npl.co.uk/science-technology/time-frequency/products-and-services/time/time-synchronisation-of-computers-to-utc%28npl%29

The page is a couple of years old but their atomic clock is brand new and they were showing it off at their Centenary 'do' I attended last year (I was running an International Primary Standard then, since retired). A similar service is provided by NIST for left-pondians.

Do note however that if you link you computer to the NPL (or NIST) time server(s) then Windoze may (will) object as it likes to be linked to M$ (which is out by a few ticks)

And iOS will only link to Cupertino time but your telescope may appreciate accurate positioning ... enjoy.
