David,

Do you use a plane in your scene, if so once the sun is at the same hight 
the lightsource will dissapear. Replace your plane with a big translated 
sphere to simnulate planet curvature.

Also I tried your scene snippet, but, with watever date or time, all I get 
to see is blue sky everywhere. Could you post a more complete scene, with 
a date/time where it looks good and a dat/time where it goes wrong, in one 
of the scenefile groups.

Ingo
