How can I change todays date into STARDATE time WITHOUT using the computer? Does it use the Julian Day?
My hobbie is really astronomy; and, I like to learn about the sience of time.

I don't actually think you can 'cos the Stardates had to start somewhere & now is before Stardate 0.1

BC? But what about that huge range of time between 1 BC and Stardate 00000.0? What would that be called?

In the 20th Century, the common way for fans to convert the current date into a movie Stardate format would be to take the last two digits of the year, then use the current month as the next two digits, with two decimal places as the day of the month.
So, for example, March 17, 1996, would be Stardate 9603.17.
Of course now in the 21st Century, the first two digits are either "04" or "104" -- so November 29, 2004, would be Stardate 10411.29 or Stardate 0411.29.
I think the 10411.29 format is more consistent with the system used in the 20th Century (and would also be consistent with the current Stardate if the original movie series continued today).
