Recently I was trying to confirm if a certain time & date of a transit would occur.
When I tried 4 different tools, they gave me 4 different results for the same observation location. 2 results were similar in time but still varied by a couple of degree in altitude. The other two had rise and set time 30....60 minutes earlier than the others. All tools are supposed to use the latest online data from NASA for their predictions

Has anyone tried such a prediction and compared the ACTUAL result with different (online) tools ?
