[QGIS-Developer] [Qgis-user] Fwd: Sunrise, Sunset, Lunar Calculations

[Alex M]

+1 it would be useful

In particular when planning drone flights users often want solar noon,
not whatever local time is. It's also a good reference for lots of other
analysis.

As Chris mentioned there may be python libraries out there that just
need a QGIS interface.

Thanks,
Alex
