On the 24 hour clock exactly what time is meant by 0000hrs? Is it for example midnight Friday before Saturday or midnight Saturday before Sunday?
To avoid ambiguity I was always taught to use 0001 or 2359 but what say others?

But my last teaching was that you log a time of 23.59.59 and then 00.01.01 and we were taught never to log a time of 00.00.
There must be a reference to all this on the Royal Observatory Geenwich site and the place is well worth a visit,(small charge). Along with the National Maritime Museum.
