For the interested..: Below is a table with all the equinoxes and solstices until 2005. The dates and times are all in Universal Time (which is equal to GMT) so any daylight savings time needs to be offset as does any time offset for other countries. If the offset is big enough the local time of an equinox can be on a different day. EG someone with a -5hr offset from GMT would see the 2005 Autumn Equinox late on 22nd Sept rather than the early hours of the 23rd.
