Golden and blue hour in Stavanger: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Stavanger (58.97, 5.7331) and the Europe/Oslo timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 53 minutes in September and 104 in December — schedule "an hour" and you are wrong in both.

Fitting the window into the shoot day
The evening window is the reliable half: the crew is warmed up, the setup exists, and golden hour is the last slot before wrap. The morning window right after sunrise (until 05:40 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 04:25.
After sunset, Stavanger still offers the blue hour: from 23:37 to 00:16 in June (39 minutes). If you need both looks on one evening, everything from the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour is one continuous window — with no room for a re-rig inside it.
