Sun is always above the horizon ValueError

[ulysses78]

For our mobile pollyxt device Arielle @ Antarctica (Neumayer III station), the following error occurs, when trying to convert to scc-format with pollyxt_pipelines:

ValueError

  Sun is always above the horizon on this day, at this location.

  at ~/scc_env/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/astral/sun.py:823 in sunrise
       819│             if z > 90.0:
       820│                 msg = "Sun is always below the horizon on this day, at this location."
       821│             else:
       822│                 msg = "Sun is always above the horizon on this day, at this location."
    →  823│             raise ValueError(msg) from exc
       824│         else:
       825│             raise
       826│

This Error occurs since 2023-11-15, because the sun is always above the horizont there. Could you please fix this bug? Otherwise we are not able to upload this data to the scc. Thanks in advance.

Hello! Can you send be the station config so I can reproduce this? Seems like an easy fix.

Cheers

@ulysses78 Hello! Could you try the new version (1.14.5) and see if it fixes this issue?

[ulysses78]

@thgeorgiou . Sorry for the delay. Yesterday was a public holiday in some parts of Germany. Thank you for the new version. It works fine :-)
