I figured it out. It's not daylight saving time that's the problem. I'm sorry. It's the fact I live in Israel - the longitude is like a +3 time zone, but israel is actually in a +2 time zone, due to historical reasons and those dammn britts.
Anyway, if there was a way to feed in your time zone aswell as position, that should do it.

This would have been great if daylight saving time could have been taken into account. This way, the sun and the moon show look as they would in an hour's time. :(
Other than that - Great job.

jbinnyc, 1° 2' means 1 degree and two minutes, not 1 degree and two feet. (1° = 60') You can convert the minutes to a decimal portion of a degree (1' = 0.1666...°) and specify a decimal number.

For example, 40° 44' = 40.7333...°; 73° 55' = 73.91666...°.

Wonderfully done. Love the new version. Images are a nice selection as well. It is nice to have for us programmers that work in a dungeon office without windows. :-)
I wanted to make a request to be able to define my own local image, or better yet a definable http image. My default suggestion would be the EIT 304 image from the SOHO website http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/ like

It has that timestamp, but it would be live. Just a tho… More
