    I’m neither an astronomer nor an astrophotographer and I do this. The sun always rotates in the same direction, it’s not exactly rocket science.

    But if I were to ever visit the southern hemisphere, then I’m practically guaranteed to pick the worst possible sitting spot at least once.

      But I’m a programmer and the sun is an external source of data. I need unit tests ensuring my prediction function works regardless of the direction the sun rotates.
