I took both in fact, but I was doing what the article stated to do, use the
LL for sunset, and the upper limb for sunrise. The UL shot was far closer
in time. You might be on to something Marcel, the method might be
off.

Could it be that you took the LL touching the horizon instead of the
UL? Sunset times are generally defined by the UL touching the horizon
(the moment of the last glimpse).
