It looks good to me Gareth. What program do you use to get the sunrise
and sunset time, and moon phase? My sunrise/set time calculator is not
as accurate as it might be (+- a few minutes).

I'm using FreeWX.
Find it here.

It's a great program and very easy to configure.


Yes, but Windows only And I don't need a complete package, just
something that will return an accurate sunrise/sunset time, plus (for
the sake of the webcam) when the sun reaches a certain elevation below
the horizon (6 degrees seems to be about right). Moon rise/set times and
phase would also be nice. I write the rest!

Never mind, your site looked fine in Konqueror.

I'm running the program on my wife's machine and viewing it on my
PowerBook :-)
It's the only machine in the house that isn't a laptop and therfore is
ideal for a permanent connection to the weather station.
If I can persuade the wife to use a MacMini then I maybe I can start
using an OS X program. Any thoughts on my options then?
