Twilight application
Twilight calculates twilight from sun and moon.
This is useful when planning a voyage and specially when out
in the wild, be it climbing, hiking or sailing, where twilight
is an important feature, or when planning a voyage. If you
are looking at the stars or hunting northern lights, best
periods will be when there is complete darkness.
Twilight also calculates best orientation and solar
energy for you solar charger ;-)
Twilight is licenced free of charge. So you are
free to use and share it with others provided that copies

I wrote Twilight while waiting for the first sun after a
long and cold winter on board of a sailboat in the Thule region,
in northern Greenland. Enjoy :-)
