It would be nice to be able to access the website on a smartphone (even if the experience is suboptimal), instead of denying access.

Smartphones have the huge advantage of orientation sensors. I remember using apps like Google sky map (or something like that) way back in 2011 to look at satellites and planets.

It would be good to also have the option for alignment with sunrises in addition to sunsets.

For instance in Houston the sunrise aligns with Texas Avenue around the June solstice.

Consequently, there are no sunset alignments for the downtown skyscrapers.
