Shooting Times for Monday

Calculated by the U.S. Naval Observatory for Harrisburg, AR for the date of Monday, Nov 24th, 2008.

6:18 am
4:51 pm

You will notice that Food Giant's time listed for the same date is 6:15 am, but I'm not sure what data they are using to calculate. Going by the statement on the card, sunrise was calculated on a north/south line from Hburg to Marianna. According to the Naval Observatory timetable, sunrise for Marianna on the 24th is 6:46am so shooting time would be 6:16am (Marianna) there. Food Giant is going with an earlier time than the Naval Observatory did for Marianna or Hburg...And then the East/West distance must be factored in to this, for every 9 miles West of the Hburg/Marianna line (north-south line between the two) a minute should be added. Harrisburg is approx 6 miles west of this line so we should still be using the Hburg time for sunrise. I would be careful with the Food Giant data since they seem to be several minutes early.
