Praying in Amherst
The latest Fajr in Amherst, 6:36 AM, comes on 6 November, more than six weeks before the shortest day. The reason is the clock: daylight saving time ends the next morning, 7 November, so until then every prayer is shown an hour later than it would be on standard time.
Isha is earliest at 6:05 PM on 5 December, sixteen days before the winter solstice, and latest at 10:46 PM on 21 June, the summer solstice itself. At 43 degrees north that is a swing of more than four and a half hours.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Amherst timetable show standard or Hanafi Asr?
Both are available. Standard is highlighted first, while Hanafi Asr, which falls later in the afternoon, can be switched on so you can compare the two for Amherst before choosing the one that matches your practice.
What is the Qibla angle for Amherst?
It is 55 degrees clockwise from true north, closer to north-east than to due east. The straight-line route over the Earth's surface to Makkah heads out across the North Atlantic, which is why it differs so much from the south-east on a flat map.
How many hours separate a December fast and a June fast in Amherst?
More than six and a half hours. The shortest fast is 10h 26m on 18 December and the longest is 17h 10m on 20 June, so the shortest falls three days before its solstice and the longest one day before.
When does Fajr start earliest in Amherst?
At 3:48 AM on 14 June, a week before the summer solstice. Dawn follows sunrise, which is earliest several days ahead of the solstice, so Fajr starts creeping later while the days are still getting longer.
