[APBeta] Moonrise Time and Daylight Savings

[Sean McGivern]

Hi all.

I'm not sure if this is a feature I don't understand, but the moonrise
calculations shown on the normal view do not appear to honor daylight
savings time.  My GMT Offset shows DST, and the sunset/twilight panel does
appear to honor it.

For example, on 4/30/10, moonrise should be around 10:50 PM, but my screen
shows 11:42 PM.  The short-term visibility indicator shows moonrise before
11 PM, and the Darkness Calendar script shows Moon Rise at 10:48 PM.

After a bit more reflection, it seems likely that I am misunderstanding
which day it shows; Darkness Calendar shows 11:42 PM for May 1 (tomorrow
night as I write this at 11:55 PM on 4/30).  However, it was showing the
same thing at around 8 PM on 4/30, well before the moon rose.

Can anyone offer an explanation?

Thanks.
