Ok - don't laugh
 My coding skills are pitiful so I asked my resident Ai to write a bash script to call a webcam script (I did write this one) only between sunrise and sunset. it produced this and it works! My question is - how can I amend the script so it starts 30 minutes BEFORE sunrise and stops 30  Minutes after?

[...]

SUNRISE_EPOCH=$(date -d "$SUNRISE" +%s)
SUNSET_EPOCH=$(date -d "$SUNSET" +%s)
CURRENT_EPOCH=$(date +%s)

Since you already have the date/time in seconds since the epoch, just subtract 30 seconds for BEFORE and add 30 seconds for AFTER
