Hello there,

I have a new problem concerning horizon creation.
A few months ago, I took the time when the Moon was just over the top of a 
mountain. Then I calculated the Moon's altitude and created the horizon at this 
point - I realised that it's only possible to simulate complete degrees instead 
of minutes and even seconds (at least minutes would be nice since it is 
possible to calculate the horizon really accurate with this 
Moon-fully-above-horizon-method).
Ok, two days ago, I measured the time when the Moon was just below the horizon 
- this mountain was as high as the one where I took the first measurement a few 
months ago which is why the Moon should be displayed at the same altitude above 
the mathematical horizon. When I looked at the Moon's altitude in CdC (2.76c) I 
saw that he was displayed significantly nearer to the mathematical horizon than 
the first measurement was. I thought about a wrong first calculation. So I 
measured yesterday evening when the Moon was just above the first 
mountain-horizon again. Just by checking the altitude in CdC I could see that 
the first measurement was correct.
I then saw that there must be something wrong with the alignment of the whole 
sky because the ecliptic was significantly not mirror-symmetric when measured 
in the meridian. The ecliptic rises above horizon in north-east and falls below 
the horizon in south-west.

How can I fix this? The projection is everywhere ARC and only from 271-360° 
it's CAR (whatever this means).

Thank you very much!!!

Luzius
