New Feature Lunar Eclipse Simulation

The eclipse sim is just on by default, but there are also some tweaks under Lighting/"Lunar Eclipse"

Mostly for fun and eclipse viewing planning. But maybe also useful when people are videoing the eclipse, as it's inevitable that some of them will see UFOs at that time.

Thanks Mick, this is great. I am using this to plan viewing times. I opened your sitch and asked the AI assistant to place the camera at my location and local time. Super easy!

Nice!

All features need corner cases to test them - what does it show for this case (a 20% lunar eclipse, at dawn, from way back in 33 CE):

And that's why I love corner cases! Yes, you may call me "Bob the Bastard".
