This screen shows you the morning and evening twilight times for the dates as you had set in the input areas of the calendar. Twilight is distinguished in 3 sorts:
When you set your chart to use a Alt-Az coordinate system together with the usage of a automatic background colour, the sky background will display a lighter colour, related to the sort of twilight.
Astronomical dusk is the period of time during which the center of the sun is lower than 18º degrees of arc below the horizon for your observation position. For those periods, SkyChart will usually display a dark background, except when the Moon is above the horizon.
