I recently built this:

http://jtauber.github.com/mars-clock/

It's a single web page with calculations being done live in Javascript.

It started off just as a way to calculate the LMST and LTST for Curiosity but it has a range of calculations for Mars overall from Allison and McEwen's 2000 paper.

Recently I've started adding explanations of each of the calculations including the formulas used.

It's been a huge learning experience for me and I'd appreciate any feedback, both in terms of experts correcting what I've done incorrectly and amateurs such as my self saying what they'd like elaboration on.

This is looking good, James. Your Oppy time agrees well with Lemmon's Oppy clock, which shows LMST. What is HLST?

Your Oppy clock differs from the MER filenames clock, but then that one shows LTST.
