Calculations made for the central U.S.A.
For start times before 10:00 AM.
Latitude 39° N, Longitude 94° W
To adjust the start-time to YOUR LOCATION, add (E of 94° W), or subtract (W of 94° W),
4 minutes time, per degree of Longitude, to / from your 10:00 AM time.

Even though this information is calculated for the northern hemisphere, in the Americas,
it is applicable most everywhere, with an adjustment of the start time.
You may want to purchase my handbook and learn how to do this for your specific location and your chosen time of day.

Thanks Everyone!

It's been over 10 years now,
since I started posting this
monthly LabCount.

It's a lot of work and
I appreciate your support.

Timothy.
