Hello,
I just ran into an issue that I never noticed before running the current update of Guide 9 on Windows 7 64-bit. It is currently 7/18 16:53 UT where I live and I just looked up the moonrise time from the Quick-Info and from right-clicking on Moon itself, and both said 7/18 4:32 UT rise time. It is 12 hours past that rise time - Moon is already up – why is it is still showing me that one, not rolling over to the next rise which it shows correctly at 7/19 5:06 UT (tonight) if I run the time animation forward to then.
Is this normal behavior and I never noticed it before? Is Guide just looking at the current date? If so, would it be possible for Guide to also check the current *time* and if the rise time (or transit time or set time) is prior to the current time (i.e. already happened) it could show the next one? If this is intentional behavior, could someone please explain why it does what it does?
Also - I would expect that it be consistent this wat for all rise/transit/set times for all objects.
Thanks,
Tony
