measures.riseset - Function

1.4.1 get rise and set times


Description

rise will give the rise/set times of a source. It needs the position in the frame, and a time. If the latter is not set, the current time will be used. The returned value is a record with a ’solved’ field, which is F if the source is always below or above the horizon. In that case the rise and set fields will all have a string value. The record also returns a rise and set record, with ’last’ and ’utc’ fields showing the rise and set times as epochs.

#[solved=F,  
# rise=[last=below, utc=below],  
# set=[last=below, utc=below]]
