Summary0002187: Wrong moon illumination in twilight calendar
DescriptionThe moon illumination in the twilight calendar shows wrong values for days before full moon depending on which start date is being selected. It looks like the values for the two days before full moon are taken from the 3rd day before full moon. This leads to 0.91 if that day is included (picture 1) while it's 0.00 if that day is not included (picture 2).

It looks like for some cities (e.g. Stuttgart, Germany), setting the date of three or more days before full moon doesn't show the issue in the first picture (but the second showing 0.00 still remains)
Steps To Reproduce1. Select location, set date/time to "tonight"
2. Open Ephemerisis Calendar
3. Select date range for 2019-09-11 or 2019-09-10
4. refresh
Additional Informationversion 4.1.1 beta 2019-09-09 fb1bbbcb

Thank you to report this issue, I can confirm the value is wrong for this date.
Strangely it is right in the Solar system, Moon tab.

This is because I was computing the illumination at the time of Moon transit. But for some days this time can be undefined, because transit occur only on previous and next day.

To fix the issue I now compute the illumination at local midnight for the twilight table :

The change will be in tomorrow beta version.
