Yes !!
360° - GHA at 12:00:00 UT = T1 équation of time in °'"
Correct for longitude, T1 (+ W/- E) = T2 observer équation of time in °'"
Transform T2 in with table i (first yellow page) = T3 observer équation of time in h mn sec
T3 + 12 h = T4 observer time of transit.
Attention de greatest sun altitude is Not the instant of transit for a mobile observer
