Re: [misterhouse-users] sunrise sunset

[Matthew W. <mat...@us...>]

I believe that longitude has to be negative for West and Positive for East. 
Latitude is negative for South and positive for North.

That means that your .ini settings should be:

latitude  = 35.4
longitude = -80.6

Good luck,
Matt
