makes no difference if the sun is attached to camera. to test this: create an atmosphere, place sun, write down sun coordinates. save. without even closing the atmosphere editor, reload the atmosphere you just saved. the sun position will have slipped. saving under a new file name will also make it slip.
 
i believe i'd tested it before with attaching the sun to camera, with no difference. i just did it again a second ago, my original sun coordinates were azimuth 83.47, pitch 131.09. when reloaded the coordinates read 73.06 & 134.01. almost a 10 degree slip there, which like i said will move or even lose a rainbow or godray.

i have emailed eon about this, they said something similar & mentioned something about them making sure the atmosphere was consistent with the preview or something. it is very easy to reproduce this. the way they worded it it seemed pretty plain they weren't going to bother to test this. i have a package up here with atmospheres & had to correct them all, so i'm very familiar with this bug  :o
