0H = hour angle

edit
  • "At the instant of the body's passage over the meridian wire, mark the time by the chronometer. The hour angle at the instant is 0h; therefore the local sidereal time is equal to the right ascension of the body in the case of a star, or the local apparent time is 0h in the case of the sun's center." United States Hydrographic Office (1920). American practical navigator: an epitome of navigation and nautical astronomy

This meaning should be incorporated into hour angle. Jokestress (talk) 02:14, 3 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
