Is there a way to get mincha ketana 72 minutes?

I am not sure how to calculate it but there is a mincha ketana that relies on 72 minutes, is there a way to get that in hebcal?

Hi @isaacfink , what do you mean "relies on 72 minutes"? Do you mean Rabenu Tam LeKoola (that is, they consider shkeya to be 72 minutes after sunset).

There's a version of mincha ketana according to the Magen Avraham with the day starting 72 minutes before sunrise and ending 72 minutes after sunset.

We don't have this available in Hebcal but we could add this.

Something like this:

minchaKetanaMGA() {
  const [alot72, temporalHour] = this.getTemporalHour72();
  return new Date(alot72.getTime() + (9.5 * temporalHour));
}

Thanks @PupaRebbe that's what I ended up doing but I had to calculate temporal hour myself, where is this function?

@mjradwin That's exactly the one, I am not an expert in zmanim but I am comparing it to an existing luach, the one you linked is the one I needed and the implementation from @PupaRebbe is the correct one (at least for the couple of days I tested it for) there are some off by one issues with with rounding but it's the same implementation

getTemporalHour72(): any[] {

We'll get a release out within an hour. Just finishing up unit tests
