Sun and moon position plugin (for photography)

The sun and moon azimuths are shown correct on the map but the numerical display at bottom left appears to have azimuths 180deg out. Also 360deg azimuths are not shown (shows -ve azimuths). A better term for the sun's vertical angle might be "Inclination" rather than "Altitude".

If the azimuth values are appearing 180 degrees off, it means that they are reversed, showing the opposite direction from what they should be. For example, if the sun's azimuth should be 90 degrees (east), it is displayed as 270 degrees (west).
The presence of negative azimuth values instead of 360-degree azimuths indicates a representation problem. Normally, azimuth values should range from 0 to 360 degrees, with 0 degrees being due north, 90 degrees due east, 180 degrees due south, and 270 degrees due west.
