A lot of thanks, John. It is a pity that the algorithms in Excel seem
so abstruse. I've tried to avoid this in the JavaScript, even if that

So far no problems.
What about a Mk 2 version
Sorry, but what is that of Mk 2 ?
that should be UbiSol v 0.2 - the one with all the enhancements
discussed below ;-))
which is kinder to those of us creatures who live South of the
Equator and East of Greenwich ;-)) Possibly a set of North/South and
East/West buttons in the coordinate pop up window.
Yes. I thought about the N/S and E/W controls, but then I discarded
them because they could darken the main procedure. I think it is as
much difficult
for the user to press the 'minus' key than a scroll menu. However,
I'll take into account your suggestion, because most of our possible

One other thought has occurred to me regarding the setting of new
coordinates - if these are stored in a 'cookie' by the JavaScript - the
user would not have to set up the calculator each time at their own
location.
Just to let all of us dialist's know that we really are not going to
see anything further this day - Civil (-6deg.) Nautical (-12deg.) and
Astronomical (-18deg.) twilight ;-))
Well, I intend to give the lenght of the three twilights in future
versions, but right now I'd prefer to have everything working > allright.
A wise plan !
