Incorrect solar shading

Q&A

I created the globe with shading, however I don’t think the shading is correct. I think the shading should be from east to west.

png_image=‘chicago.png’

Thanks, it is a known issue on GitHub. I will link your post from there as well.

Thank you, I will keep an eye on the issue. It seems to work great with a mercator projection. When I switch to orthographic projection it fails. Eckert IV Projection so i assumed it would work with orthographic as I have gotten it to work with mercator.
