When the fast of Yom Kippur begins, and ends, in Gardens Hills

Of course, check your own local times at the sites given. What is given here is for Zip code 11367, in New York.

According to Chabad it begins today at candle-lighting time, at:


and ends tomorrow at:


You can confirm yourself when candle-lighting is. There is an inyan of tesefet yom hakippurim at play here.

looks like they're holding 8.5 degrees below horizon. A friend constantly maintains it should be 6.5 degrees, and that everybody who says 8.5 has no real basis in shas/poskim for it, they just want to be more chamur.

can you point towards sources for 8.5 degrees and why?
