How is Solunar data calculated? Is it accurate for lat/long?
Posted: Mon 11 Jan 2010 10:58 am
Hi
I've been looking at some software & a couple of sites for getting solunar data - Sun & Moon set/rise times etc. I seem to get different answers from Cumulus (and differences between the other sites/software) for rise/set times and I was wondering how it's calculated in Cumulus and how accurate it is for a given latitude/longitude.
I'm ultimately trying to work out the correct solunar charts for my exact location but because I need to do this on a hourly basis from November through February, I need to start with accurate info on rise and set times for both sun and moon.
Can you help on the accuracy part, Steve?
Also, does anyone know of a site/software that would give accurate data for a specific UK location?
TIA
Dave
