I've seen weird things too like the sun in front of the moon but that is an artifact from how the sky is rendered by SH4

Regarding times:
Out of Pearl for example I always draw lines 7 1/2 degrees each side of 180d - IDL - then go 15 degrees west from there ( & east to Pearl) for each hour and the sunrise sunset times are pretty close: from SJ it is roughly 4 hours from base time, from the Yellow Sea 5 hours etc.

Furthermore the moon phases, moon rise, and moon set are also close to my tables.

I made 3 pages of my help file into tables; moon rise, moon set, sun rise, sun set, and the phases for use while I'm on patrol. SH4 is close enough for me.

Happy Hunting!
