Sunrise and sunset?

Post by maxi01 »

Good evening, I would like to know how to set the rising and setting of the sun.
Cumulus tells me the Moonrise is at 00:11 and the 9:59 start. and where I live (Argentina) is not.

how to configure that?

In the Cumulus
Configuration
Station
screen there is a panel in the middle of the screen for Location.

Ensure you have the correct Latitude and Longitude - pay careful attention to the fact that the setting is in deg/min/secs (not decimal degrees), and to the North/South (N or S) and East/West (E or W of Greenwich) settings.

With these correct, your sun and moon data should be correct.

Also ensure your PC and Station clocks are set correctly and are in sync.

thanks for the reply, the issue is that the coordinates that google maps gives me are negative and I can not put signs in cumulus (in the field that get the coordinates)



EDIT!! I've solved had to indicate the longitude and latitude, with the letters s and w.

thank you very much

Yes these 'conventions' are an issue.

Some use d/m/sec others decimal degrees.
Some use + and - while others use ns / ew. Also there are some who for reasons unknown (to me) decide to reverse + and - from everyone else.

Happy to be of assistance.
