Bug Description

In southern hemisphere, the phases of the moon are essentially mirrored in relation to northern hemisphere.

This is not really a bug, but someone who really understand the moon phases and lives in the southern hemisphere will be fooled by the indicator's drawn moon phase. For instance, a waning moon will look like a crescent moon, and vice versa.

Since the applet knows our location, it would be easy to fix this.

Just wanted to point that we, southern hemisphere's inhabitants, are people too.

Thanks for the attention.

And there is one more thing: today, my dusk time is "17:60". Lol, I suppose that means 18:00.

I just wanted to say that now my moon is shown correctly, I don't know why.

Anyway, I'll keep an eye to see if the bug will return.
