This module converts between <link linkend="ai-utime">Universal 
Time</link> and Local <link linkend="ai-sidereal">Sidereal Time</link>.
First, select whether you will use Universal Time or Sidereal Time
as an input value in the <guilabel>Input Selection</guilabel> section.
You must also specify a geographic longitude, and a date for the 
calculation, in addition to either the Universal Time or the Sidereal 
Time value.  When you press the <guibutton>Compute</guibutton> button, 
the corresponding value for the other Time will be displayed.
