How Do You Calculate the Hour of Chatzos?

Autographed Teshuvah by Harav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach Regarding Eating the Afikoman


Anyone who eats the Afikoman by chatzos is familiar with the race to end Maggid and eat a quick Shulchan Orech in time to finish the Afikoman in time, following the opinion of Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya who maintains that the Korban Pesach and matzah must be eaten prior to chatzos.
There is a longstanding debate regarding the proper means of calculating the time of chatzos, which is the precise hour of halfway through the night. In this teshuvah, Hagaon Harav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zatzal responds to this query and also notes the appropriate hour for reciting Tikkun Chatzos.
The above is addressed in Minchas Shlomo Vol. 1 Ch. 91 Letter 15, yet this handwritten teshuvah encompasses several intriguing details that were omitted from the printed version.

Jerusalem, 1965.
Two double-sided handwritten leaves (4 sides).
