altitude of Sun's lower limb

[axd1967]

Expected Behaviour

Ho does not correspond to altitude as reported by Pointer Coordinates tool.

Actual Behaviour

• location: S 19° 56' 42.00" W 29° 45' 32.00" 0m (! Southern hemisphere)
• time: 2021-11-08 19:31:41Z
• target: Sun
• refraction settings: std atm

lower limb as reported by Pointer Coord: (lower right of screenshot): alt = 8d01m01s

as reported by the nav plugin : lower limb is higher than Sun center; plus, the values seem strange; the offsets seem to be 1/2 SD rather than 1 SD?

@A-j-K could you have a peek at this?

@A-j-K could you have a peek at this?

I'll try and look later this week. I have a new computer that means I'll need to rebuild my dev env :(

Here is another example: a positive Ho while the apparent alt is negative

Pretty sure I already know what the problem is and I'm guessing you do too ;) Just installing VS, will checkout shortly
