Re: Black box
That black box is new moon which you can't see it as it is in front of the sun in the orbit around earth.

Re: Black box
You seem to be asking the same question here https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6550 about the black box. If you are still not sure you should try and use the same thread and not start a new one.VK4GO wrote:Hi all I still have the same troubles with the black box on the left top side main screen, also the sun color grey.

Not seeing what you are but can't you therefore just use an exchange rate i.e. 1 British pound = 1.54 Australian dollars
£20 would result in you being charged just over AUS $30

Re: Black box
And regarding the sun icon, if the sun was actually shining at that time, you maybe need to adjust your solar settings in Cumulus so that it triggers at a lower threshold. But note that the calculation of whether the sun is shining is tricky enough with a Davis station; I'm not sure that the Lux values that the Fine Offset provides are really suitable - a further conversion is required from Lux to W/m2, and that conversion is very approximate.
