Why is Chhath on Thu 7 Nov in Olean?

Sunset at 16:59 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 18:42. Shashthi: 18:42 to 16:11 Fri.
Shashthi ended at 16:11; sunset at 16:58 is Saptami. Shashthi: 18:42 Thu to 16:11.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 18:42 on Thu 7 Nov to 16:11 on Fri 8 Nov, between the two evenings’ sunset, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Thu 7 Nov. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
