| Summary | 0002943: Wrong Moon Rise and Set Times in Ephemeris, and Details | ||||
| Description | When checking the rise/set times in the Ephemeris Calendar, they are totally wrong when compared to rise/set times from other sources. For example: https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/canada/toronto The same error can be found when clicking on the moon, and selecting the object details, at the very bottom: Rise: Local horizon 03h42m42s Azimuth: [...] Transit: [...] Set: Local horizon 14h06m33s Azimuth: [...] | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | - Set location to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. - Change the timezone to America/Toronto - Search for "moon" - Click on the moon in the sky chart - Click on the "Moon" label that pops up - Scroll to the bottom, to see the local horizon rise and set Also: - Click on Ephemeris button - Select Solar System, then Moon Compare the rise/set to the link here: https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/canada/toronto Then advance the time to the correct rise/set from the above web page Then mouse over the moon, and check the rise/set at the very bottom | ||||

Please ignore the above report. The reason the rise and set were inaccurate is because I have a local horizon line, including trees and buildings. And there is a setting under the Horizon tab saying : "Compute rise/set time relative to this line". Once I unchecked that setting, the rise and set times are back to the normal ones. Maybe this issue will be useful for someone who is confused because of a local horizon line. |

Good you find it. This is not an issue but a feature, if you want to observe the moon it need to be above the trees. The mention "Local horizon" is to indicate that. Maybe this is more clear if I can change it to "Local profile". |
