| Aug 20, 2020 at 17:54 | comment | added | uhoh | Ya the declination range issue is real and unrelated to the time sampling issue. I'd say don't worry about anything here at the moment, there are enough comments to clarify that this is a work in progress. Once you sort it all out you can decide what to do. Or you can update your question here with new results, or ask a new one. | |

fixed some text

| Aug 20, 2020 at 17:25 | comment | added | uhoh | Because if it doesn't (and I don't see how it could possibly) then you've got two problems. You should edit this question to just reflect the problem answered here. That way you have two very different questions, each answered. | |
| Aug 20, 2020 at 17:22 | comment | added | uhoh | In my opinion, even though these questions are similar they're not exactly the same, so perhaps the best thing to do is to post a short answer here only, explaining that the answer that solved your problem is in Astronomy, and link to it. Please don't copy the same answer, because the answer's author shouldn't have to try to maintain two copies if one is updated. The goal is always to guide people to the single best answer. However does that timing issue actually fix your +/- 90 degrees for the declination of the Sun as seen from Mercury (i.e. what's addressed in my answer)? | |

| Aug 19, 2020 at 17:37 | comment | added | uhoh | I had two more thoughts; 1) if you can post-process the Horizons data then you can interpolate the output to a grid of the planet's rotational period, 2) Horizons also allows you to upload discreet time lists. However when you click the link it only displays sixteen boxes, I don't know if there's a way to upload hundreds of discrete times: i.sstatic.net/FB8kB.png | |
