    George H, you wrote:
    "If the complexity of calculating
    that multiplier (once for the day) is regarded as challenging, a compact
    table relating it to lat and dec ( or perhaps, even simpler, to lat and
    date), giving the multiplier to say 1%, could be readily provided."

    That's certainly a good option. There are many ways to skin a cat. I'm going
    to put together a "kit" for this based on my best instincts and personal
    preferences, and we'll just have to see whether it seems practical to practical
    people.
