Trigger event at solar noon?

Been using Sunwait to control the collection and uploading of images from a weather camera with great success! A fantastic little program!

Is it possible to have to software 'wait' until the sun is directly overhead locally? I tried waiting for a custom angle, and chose 90º, however the program simply ran immediately. According to the timeanddate.com the sun's angle at noon is only about 62º. This changes daily of course.

I know Sunwait can report the time of solar noon if you run a 'report', but I can't figure out a way to have it start and actually wait for noon (and then execute a batch file of course).

Any suggestions?
