What if nautical night has already passed?

[astro_nerd]

I’m curious about what happens if nautical night has already passed and my dragscript has a “Wait for nautical night” line - will it execute immediately, or wait for the next day’s nautical night? I can’t guarantee that once I’ve polar aligned etc, that that time frame has not already passed.

If it does wait until following day’s nautical night, is there a way in my script to say - wait until nautical night unless is has already passed, in which case, execute immediately…

It will start immediately rather than waiting for the next night to start. I recently tested that unintentionally as I was helping set up someone else’s gear and didn’t launch my dragscript until after astronomical dark.
