Rather than executing jobs at specific times, or intervals, as is the case with cron schedules, calendar scheduling executes jobs on the boundaries of calendar events. See Calendar scheduling.
Schedule a job at the start of each event in the jobs’ calendar.

Jobs can be executed at sunrise/sunset, with an optional offset before or after. e.g. 30 minutes before civil sunset in Honolulu. See SunriseSunset scheduling.
