Orb Display Mode not sufficiently documented about indi-allsky HOT 3 OPEN

I will create a wiki page for the Orbs.

The altitude and azimuth config options under Location have no effect currently. I added it for future functionality.

Thanks - I had assumed altitude and azimuth config options were for describing the orientation of your camera -- while most point vertically, the rotation could be arbitrary, and if the intent of the Orbs is to display the angle to the sun and moon, the user would want to be able to adjust for camera mounting orientation.

The orbs are not relative to the orientation of the camera, but relative to the location of the camera on Earth. For Local Hour Angle and Azimuth, top center is 0 degrees in both measurements. Altitude just renders the relative altitude relative to the sides of the image which represent +90 to -90 degrees.

The ticks on the side represent the relative measurement of 0, 6, 12, and 18 degrees of altitude of the Sun for each mode.
