Summary0002901: Rise/Set times in the Ephemeris Calendar do not use Local Horizon if that option is set in the Observatory configuration
DescriptionA minor issue, but I just noticed when I create an ephemeris for any object (Ephemeris Calendar button) the rise/set times are always for a 0 degree (flat) horizon, even if I have "Compute rise/set times relative to this line" set in the Observatory, Horizon tab (which is a great and very helpful feature!). The rise/set times are correct on a chart, but different in the Ephemeris Calendar. I think it would make sense for consistency between the two rise/set times. Should be a pretty easy fix if you agree. There might also be a need to change the column header in the Ephemeris to add the word "Local" to rise/set if that is the time listed.

Thank you!

Hi Basil,

Yes this must be same rise/set time when the local horizon is active.
I make the change and this is available in today beta version:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/skychart/files/0-beta/2026-03-23/

Tell me if this is OK for you.

Sorry for my delay in replying. The change looks perfect, very helpful! Thank you very much.

I'm not going to mention what to do about "circumpolar" objects that actually "rise/set - several times?" as they go behind or reappear from things like trees, etc. Uhhh, I guess I just mentioned that can of worms, sorry. Might want to just forget I put that out there and let that one go. "Circumpolar" objects will always be listed as circumpolar, regardless of obstructions along the horizon :)

Thank you again
