The postion figures don't do the correction: I wimped out because the refraction correction is a function of the height of the sun above the horizon. The sunrise and sunset are apparent times, you should remove the dt correction to find the "astronomical" times. Try the first day of spring at dawn to see what I mean. The sun should come up almost exactly in the east, but it's apparent position is different because of the corrections. I hope this is understandable... Bob
