Need help for DSC alignement

I need to properly align a square billboard located in NGC 346, so it's facing our Sun. I don't have Excel, so I can't run Grant's spreadsheet located at this place :

http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celesti ... ets.html#1

The billboard coordinates are

RA : 00h 59min 18sec
DEC : -72deg 10min 48sec.

I need the exact Axis line and the Angle number for the DSC.

Is anybody able to run that Excel spreadsheet for me ? Please ?

Install OpenOffice.
It's free for the downloading from http://www.openoffice.org/
Its spreadsheet is compaible with Excel.
That's what I use.

You're welcome.

My health is improving, but I'm not supposed to go back to work for another month.
