One more suggestion...
Again, if you're using an iPhone, you can download an app called Spyglass. Its a compass app that allows you to take screen shots that look like this...

It has all the data on the image, including the exact time and precise directional heading and location. That way there's no accusations of fudging possible. You can even tell the angle above the horizon that you camera is tilted.
I'm pretty sure you can use the app for free.

So, that's 8 pm, 9 and 10 pm, right Central Standard? Or 6, 7 and 8 pm?
I know it's a little early but we were on a walk. This is the sky at around 7:36 Eastern.
Also this is a test to see if I can even upload pictures from my phone. If it does upload, picture is taken at about eye level (I'm 5'-8") not zoomed in, and I am pointing due West according to a compass app and verified by Google maps with GPS. I have an android

Are we pointing due West or at the sun? I was due West exactly and the sun was to the right almost off the picture

Guys please don’t post any pics that are not at the designated times. The pics need to be on the hour or at least within a minute or two.
I have my first pic taken at 1am UTC. I will wait and post them all at once.
Okay 1:00 UCT from my back yard (click the image to see it full sized)...

Notice that I have the camera pointed very nearly at the real horizon rather than at the tree tops in the distance.
The app I was using shows the position of the Sun when I took the photo which was just -.2 degrees below the horizon. (That's the position of the center of the Sun. Official sunset happens when the Sun disappears behind the horizon which occurred this evening at 01:05 UCT at my house.)

So you should haven taken your first pic 15 minutes ago. (From the time of this post)
Umm, I've got bats flying around in my back yard already. It's gonna be dark as can be in an hour where I live.
With each pic you post describe how far up in the sky that the sun is.
its all in the name of science. Lol

Due west @ 21:00 hours (02:00 UTC) @ my back yard (click on image for full sized pic)...
The greenish light on the right is a large yard light in my neighbor's yard (I hate it!)
Notice the position of the Sun shown by the app nearly off the right side of the screen about -10° or so below the horizon.
Notice also just the remnants of sky glow due to the Sun being BELOW the horizon. Now way to do that on a flat Earth. If the Earth was flat, the Sun would fade into the distance and look like Venus, which, if you're participating, you'll see in the western sky this evening. It's actually visible in my photo just above the tree on the right side of the image.

Okay I got my 7pm and 8pm Mountain Time pics. 1 more to go. My pics today are not great. Too many clouds. But I’m going through with it anyway.
I’m gonna get that app Clete has for my tomorrow pics. That’s super cool.
You might need to play around with the settings (there's a lot of them). You want to make sure the font color is one that will show up well against the sky, etc.
