Bug Description
I've never had any luck with redshift caclulating the correct position of the sun when I specify lat and lon (the only method that works for my configuration).
Now is 9:52 AM GMT-4 May 25th, 2013 in Boston MA which is located at approximatley 42:71
If I put redshift in one shot mode it outputs the following:
Location: 42.000000, 71.000000
Brightness: 1.00
Gamma: 1.000, 1.000, 1.000
Using method `randr'.
Solar elevation: 6.866559
Period: Daytime
Color temperature: 5500K
Sunrise was at 5:13 AM this morning and an elevation of 6.8 degrees is far too low. If I compute a table of sun positions using this calculator http://
At various times of the day I have checked the output of redshift (including around sunset and sunrise) and it is always off. Any ideas? I am using the latest version (1.7).
Boston is at (42, -71) not (42, 71).
