Not sure if this is a bug or me reading this wrong. But the moonrise and moonset dates look out of whack.
Also is this picture only generated by WD once a day at 23:10. I have it set to generate and upload once an hour but the date/time at the bottom never seem to change except at 23:10.
Thanks all.
are you using the customise internet and file creation to set other times to create it?
note, that often there is only 1 rise or 1 set (not both) on the same day
so that is why they are not the same day
thats the moon for you

Yes - thats the way I am doing it. I’m sure I had the creation and upload times set for hourly, but I’ll check.
Any chance of shortening the date format to yy instead of yyyy so it all fits in?
if you change your windows regional settings year format that will do that
i will see why its not updating at the times you set in the customise internet and file creation
someone else has this issue (frank)
every hour is overkill for information that only will change 2x a day…
If you go 24 hour clock it’ll solve the overlap problem too…

Oh ok, what times does it update, I’ll reset it to just those times. 
I’ll try the 24 hr format too - thanks for the info,
Hello all. I’m a “noob” from South Australia. I’m right into all things technical, but this is my first foray into weather (well, second after setting up my son’s). I searched this forum for a solution to my issues, and this was the closest I could get, so, apologies for dredging up an old post.
I live on a vineyard in the Riverland region of SA, so weather prediction is important to me.
Firstly, here’s the temporary link to my website. Lots of customising planned, but I like to crawl first.

Two related issues.
The moonrise/moonset times do not correspond with those posted by our local weather bureau or on-line government website http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/gazmap_moonrise?placename=lyrup&placetype=0&state=SA#loc.
My question is, where does WD get it’s info from? I have set up the Solar/Lunar coordinates (although I had to make the longitude negative for it to make sense). The sunrise seems to be close (I’m closer to the eastern border of SA), but the moonrise is way out.
I’ve turned on file generate and file update, complete with hourly times, and the file does generate hourly, but it will not FTP it up to my website, and it doesn’t show in the FTP log. I’ve been putting it there manually, but I have better things to do each hour. Also, posting it every hour is a little indulgent, even though it only changes twice per day. What are the times that the update occurs, or could it be set to only post the hour after the changes happen (similar to the webcam only posting in daylight)?
What exactly (including -/+ signs) do you have entered for lat and long in WD?
Google Earth lists my house as 34.15’47.74S and 140.38’51.59E
I had to put the numbers into negative in the lunar setup, or the day and night were back-to-front and the coordinates showed as N and W.
