Bugs in calculation

[hajo werder]

I think there are some discrepances in astral 0.5:

1. Geographic Coordinates:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These Coordinates will be counted officially as follows:
- from aquator to north : 0° to +90°
- from aquator to south : 0° to -90°
- from Greenwich to east : 0° to +180°
- from Greenwich to west : 0° to -180°
as shown in http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Geographic_coordinates_sphere.svg/2000px-Geographic_coordinates_sphere.svg.png

2. Calculation for some cities rises these Problems:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is wrong there? Only the sign?
Or is the calculation off sunrise, dawn, sunset, dusk wrong too?

3. Solar_depression will not be recognized if you use city coordinates which
are not in the city-database.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Berlin , coordinates from CityDB, showes different times:

Timezone : Europe/Berlin

Longitude: -13.42

1. Depression: civil
----------------------------------
Dawn : 2012-03-03 06:13:27+01:00
Sunrise: 2012-03-03 06:47:38+01:00

Sunset : 2012-03-03 17:49:38+01:00
Dusk : 2012-03-03 18:23:48+01:00

2. Depression: nautical

Sunset : 2012-03-03 17:49:38+01:00
Dusk : 2012-03-03 19:43:13+01:00

As you see next, the solar_depression function doesn't work for cities outside
from CityDB: All calculated times are equal.
You also see, that there must be a correct dependicy to the official
use off the geographic coordinates. Only than someone can take coordinates from
internet-sources, maps, globes etc :
