[ ] incorporate sun rise/set azimuth into light motion code
[ ] add mod settings to input latitude and longitude
[ ] update light motion fields with data (formatted=0) from https://sunrise-sunset.org/api
is there a similar API for moon rise/set?

fauxnik commented 4 years ago

Perhaps there is a better API available? sunrise-sunset.org does not include azimuth, only times. https://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1224686065 exists, but not sure if an API is available for it. (keisan.casio.com has moon rise/set calculation too!)

Perhaps the calculation can be baked into the mod? Here's a calculation spreadsheet from NOAA: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fozIRwwVna1RNcmHidxKC9VgrCEgYS2w/view?usp=sharing
