Show Azimuth and Elevation (possibly incorrect in SH3D) 11
Hi,

I really like that Sweethome 3D provides a simulation of sunlight based on location and time.

However, I noticed that even though Ive set the correct timezone and latitude/longitude, the times for sunrise and sundown in SH3D differ from what they really are for that time and place. It's several minutes difference on both ends, so a 17 minutes shorter day than reality. (Timezone Europe/Amsterdam, date June 20, latitude N51,98x longitude E 5.92x)

Sweethome 3D's sunrise and sundown:

Rise: 05:22
Down: 21:49

Official sunrise and sundown for that location:
Rise: 05:16
Down: 22:00

Not sure if anything is going wrong, although looks like it is, but would already help if the Azimuth and elevation used are shown in the render settings so I can validate.

Regards,
Martin
