Hi, another great tutorial, but when I turn on the sun path the date and time controls/labels are not showing. Obvs can set the time/date by going through the sun settings dialogue, and can also click and drag the path/sun position, but with no labels to tell me where I am dragging it to I cant make the quick and accurate adjustments that you show around 6:00 time mark. where can I find some display option to show these tags? many thanks
