<HTML>I'll jump the gun here and say SkyMap will most likely have similar accuracy results. Ok.

So my next question is (I see yourself and Joanne have already touched on this):

Why use the position of the sun in relation to the stars/*decans (*thanks Joanne) when investigating the relevance of them to the AE's?

I ask because as far as I know, and I'm sure Joanne will concur, the AE's had an affinity for recognizing the positions of stars and other phenomena even when they were blocked out by the light of the sun.

Just as a point of interest, I see you are also placing the sun near to the horizon, but in reality, the night sky fades out of visual observation <I>hours</I> before sunrise, and not at the cusp. Some (most) programs are not as accurate on this as one would hope. All you need to do is get up really early (long before sunrise) and you'll see that the stars have already been swallowed up by the light (except for a few higher mag stars in the West, and perhaps any planets).
