The table tells me that Mars rises at 18:43, but personal observation
tells closer to 21:00 (9 PM local). Is there an error or am I
misinterpreting something? Observer's location and time shown is correct.

Thanks,

I agree that something seems amiss. The rise times for Mercury, Venus,
Jupiter and Saturn seem right but the others are incorrect. The only common
trait that I can see of the incorrect ones is that they rise after 12 noon.

Maybe the error is in adding only 10 rather than 12 to times past noon?
I'll send an e-mail to Chris Peat, the site administrator.
