Here are the results for my experiment on sunrise:

March 21st, 2009
Latitude 46,8°N
Longitude 71,3°W

Sunrise 06:45 EDT
Azimuth: 94°

Thank you for your data. Please repeat the experiment at sundown; it is not important that the result might be from another day. Having the other measurement gives us a reasonable idea of the errors and precision of the experiment.

I'm sorry but I could not do the experiment during sunset because there are too many things that block the sun on sunset.

But I'm really disappoiting that not a single one FE believers tried this experiment. At least, I did it at sunrise, and I got a result that disapprove a flat Earth (see http://theroundearthsociety.net/index.php?topic=22.0).

I think most "FE Believers" are not really believers and know that any experiment like this one will make arguing for FE even harder. There is no clear argument against this experiment since there is no "conspiracy" argument, no competing model that predicts these results for a flat Earth, ("bendy light is not even accepted by the real, totally convinced 'believers'), no convincing explanation of why should we entertain complex explanations with an ever more complicated "dark energy" when a simple round Earth models works fine.

Also, since I started this thread, I will post my results when possible. I have been suffering a long batch of bad weather, but if we are all patient we will get a good opportunity and I will give you the info.

Sorry for the delay.
