Created a Solar Study for one day different times an hour apart for a porch. When I go past 5:00 pm EDT Harftord CT my shadows invert and everything looks crazy. Up until 5 everthing looks like I would expect.

Can some one else try this?

Thanks.

I used to live in CT. The sun will often go below the horizon before 6 pm. Is this what's causing the problem? Try your sun study using June 21 as the date.

The sun has sunken below the horizon at 6 pm in December, but not in June.

I set the date and times June 21 at 6 pm, messed up shadows (inverted) July 21 at 6 pm, messed up shadows (inverted) As you know these are times of the year when the sun sets below the horizon after 8 pm
