It is possible that FS doesn't take account of latitude. The
higher the latitude the more drawn out the sunset. In
Caernarfon, Western Australia which is on the Tropic of
Capricorn, I was there near the equinox in 1969. I clearly
remember it was as light as midday at 17:50, going dark at 17:55
and was dark at 18:05 with a dull red glow to the west and pitch
black at 18:10.
