When I do either 'M' or 'S' in calendar I get
really wrong lunar and solar data. Is there
something really wrong with what I have in my
dotemacs:

(setq calendar-latitude 40.7)
(setq calendar-longitude -73.9)
(setq calendar-location-name "New York, NY")
(setq calendar-time-zone -500)
(setq calendar-standard-time-zone-name "EST")
(setq calendar-daylight-time-zone-name "EDT")

and yes indeed, I live in Manhattan.

I'm living at UTC+1 (east of Greenwich, London, UK, MET timezone) and 
have these:

(setq calendar-current-time-zone-cache
         (calendar-nth-named-day -1 0  3 year)
         (calendar-nth-named-day -1 0 10 year)

I think I had a similiar problem some years ago and the statement above 
solved it.

C-h v calendar-time-zone tells me this:


    calendar-time-zone's value is -420

    Documentation:
    *Number of minutes difference between local standard time at
    `calendar-location-name' and Coordinated Universal (Greenwich) Time.  For
    example, -300 for New York City, -480 for Los Angeles.

    Defined in `cal-dst'.
