Hey, Chris!

"UT" stands for "Universal Time". It's (PRETTY much) the same as "Greenwich Mean 
Time" or military "Zulu Time".

Therefore, UT is equal EST + 5 (i.e., EDT + 4, or PST + 8, etc, etc).

BTW, all this stuff is covered in some of the "introduction to astronomy" FAQs 
and Web sites out there. If you have Web access, try a search for "sidereal".
