A guide to the evening

The noon-to-noon period keeps the evening and following morning together. All times use the chosen UTC offset. Compass bearings run clockwise from true north: east 90°, south 180°, west 270°.

Times and positions use ChronoWaves' approximate Sun and Moon calculations, sampled once per minute with an approximate lunar parallax correction and a standard horizon allowance for rise and set. Highest point means the highest sampled altitude within this planning period. Phase and illumination are estimates at 21:00 local time. Moon-free darkness means the Sun is at least 18° below the horizon and the Moon is below the apparent horizon. Terrain, refraction, haze and clouds can affect the view.
