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.
