Minimum altitude Sky Atlas -

Issue #991 closed
Soulearth created an issue

Hello,

Today's date is November 20, 2021.

In the sky atlas (minimum altitude), I can only go until 2021-11-22 12:00. It's a bit fair, we should at least go until the following night. Is this normal?

Regards,

    This is currently normal, yes. Since you had a look at 9:25, the next night was not yet “unlocked”. That happens at 13:00. You could still set your system clock to a time after 13:00 as a workaround. Then again, you could also use some astro software such as Stellarium to do such checks or find targets (mostly, what I prefer to do). And thirdly, the altitude does not really change over the course of one day, so even the values from the previous night should still be very close.

    Like with the altitude charts the range of the day starts at noon until next day noon. For the sky atlas you can select the next day as reference day in your drop down to get around this restriction. However one day of difference only changes the altitude by a couple of minutes.
