moonrise missing

Post by Ettershaus »

Hello,
i miss the Values of the Moonrise-Time.

I'll get only:

Code: Select all

....
actual_sunset_nauticaltwilight_local 17:52
actual_moonset_standard_local 13:45
actual_moonset_standard_utc 12:45
actual_th0_temp_c 7.4
....
At my other Weatherstation, I'll get 0:36 as Moonrise-Time (calculated with a differend programm)

Meteohub 4.5i (also with 4.5h, prior the update)

Hi Ettershaus, see this posting.
Since the new update I'm also missing the moonrise time.
But you say this was already so with the prior version!?

Moon rise is most likely missing the past few days because there wasn't a moon rise during that 24 hour cycle!

Remember that the moon rise/set cycle is not synchronized with the 24 hour solar cycle, but is somewhat longer (especially in northern hemisphere autumn/winter), causing some days to not have a moon rise or moon set.

I recommend you check the astronomy data at a reliable source (wunderground.com for example) and verify if you should see a moon rise in your data today -- there is none for me, so the lack of an entry in Meteohub is not surprising.

Yup, that's logical ;-)

I've change my script to show "not today", when there isn't a value for the moonrise or -set.
