For a Sun  Tracking application  I am making the, possibly invalid,
assumption
that your numeric range is limited to 0.00 to 359.99.

My solution would be to change the domain space.  Treat the calculations as
a monetary calculation and do all of the math in BCD.  Issues of rounding
and
non-integer math are removed.

Ron, on gmail your messages keep coming across as "noname" attachments,
might want to check your email client settings.
