Moon phase image

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

They look OK. Just to confirm, the version of the image in the Cumulus /web folder isn't rotated either?

That's correct Mark. The same Northern Hemisphere image is in the web folder under CMX and in the images folder in the web directory. The files are updating and transferring fine on the hour. I use the extra web files to transfer the image rather than ftp but can't see how that would be an issue.

OK, it looks like a bug in Mono 6.x which they fixed on the 7th April! So it may be a while before it finds its way into a released version. :(

I'll see if I can find a workaround, it looks like the existing Mono code only looks for a D2D surface to rotate, it does not rotate BMPs... :(

You could revert to Mono 5.6 which does not appear to have the bug?

Many thanks for this Mark. I would never have found this. I'll see about rolling back to v5.6

Cheers
