It should be light during the day and dark at night.

Except for the smoke from the fires on the western states.

I am working on a customer's project that I think he is trying to make a real pain in the butt. We are doing it for a surveyor. For whatever reason he is using an assumed coordinate system. All of our stuff is tied to the real world not just an arbitrary point as the beginning of the world.

For our program to accept his random system we have to find some of the targets in a photo (out of 956 images) and that target is truly a small speck at some random point on the photo. We have to do that at least three points and the ground control points and then the computer can make reality fit his made up world.

And he (the surveyor) is using a modern GPS based surveying system so he had to work at using a made up system. We can only guess he has some old surveys done many years ago in a made up system and he is trying to make them match those. What a royal pain in the butt.
