Hello!
I was looking for the astronomical dawn in Karlstad, Sweden a certain date this summer, using this code:
Astronomy.SearchAltitude('Sun', observer, +1, date, 1, -18);
If I understand correctly, astronomical dawn does not occur for the given date. I suppose the sun never gets to that angle.
Now I was able to find the time when the lowest point occured:
Astronomy.SearchHourAngle('Sun', observer, 12, date, +1);
However, since this is looking for the lowest point, the angle is not known. For curiosity, I would like to know the angle in terms of understanding how close it is to astronomical/nautical/civicl dawn, and from reading other posts the hour angle is a different type of angle.
So perhaps the function SearchHourAngle should also return hour angle and altitude angle?
