Grabbed a few snaps of todays sunset and low level fog and haze obscures limb tangency with the horizon. I was able to get a LOP from an image that has the upper limb 39.8' above the horizon using my pixel counting and minutes of arc per pixel method. The intercept was 1.0' T with azimuth 290.7*. This is a good result considering that the Sun is so squashed. (200mm lens)
