TIME

             [ASTRO\]TIME [time [date]] [/ZONE Z] [/UT1] [/TDT] [/NODRAW]

        Specify  the  time-date  of  computation. Time is normally understood as
        UTC; options /UT1 and /TDT may be used to change this to UT1 or TDT. The
        time  format  is  HH:MM:SS.SSS, and the date format is DD-MMM-YYYY. Time
        and date may be absent or replaced by an asterisk (*), which defaults to
        current system time.  Local civil time may be input instead of UTC, with
        the option /ZONE z, where z is the difference in hours between  UTC  and
        local civil time (use /ZONE 2 in western Europe in Summer, 1 in winter).

        By  default, if the sun is visible, a Sun Avoidance Circle (see HELP OB-
        SERVATORY) is plotted. It can be suppressed using  the  /NODRAW  option.
        Use HEADER to examine the value of the Sun Avoidance Circle.
