TransformJulianDateUTC Property

Sets or returns the Julian date on the UTC timescale for which the transform will be made

Namespace:  ASCOM.Astrometry.Transform
Assembly:  ASCOM.Astrometry (in ASCOM.Astrometry.dll) Version: 3351c4f3fa64146a7efd5b51ed4591e32a0a5484
Syntax
public double JulianDateUTC { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: Double
Julian date (UTC) of the transform (1757583.5 to 5373484.499999 = 00:00:00 1/1/0100 to 23:59:59.999 31/12/9999)

Return Value

Type: Double
UTC Julian date that will be used by Transform or zero if the PC's current clock value will be used to calculate the Julian date.
Remarks
Introduced in April 2014 as an alternative to JulianDateTT. Only one of JulianDateTT or JulianDateUTC needs to be set. Use whichever is more readily available, there is no need to set both values. Transform will use the last set value of either JulianDateTT or JulianDateUTC as the basis for its calculations.
