Suddenly short distance at the range

Suddenly short distance at the range
I have been using skytrak couple of times at the range and it looked like distance numbers where accurate. Spin has been way off, example 7 iron was at 3500 and normally its 6500.
Today I used skytrak in the morning. Sun was up but there where clouds in the sky so there was no direct sun light on the unit. I also tried to cover it up to get more shade but numbers where strange.
Suddenly irons went like 10-30 yards shorter than normal. My pitching wedge is constant at 120 meter and with rangeballs I hit them 110-120. But today skytrak show 90-100 meters even if I saw the ball landed after the 100m mark at the range.
My 7 iron had same issue, I saw the ball land at 145-150m but numbers only show 130. I can’t recall this has happened before but then again I haven’t used skytrak this early in the morning.
Is it the sun that makes the numbers bad? Or anyone else seen numbers getting strange after some use of skytrak?

In my experience, SkyTrak becomes unreliable at best when the sun is the primary lighting source. I see my most accurate numbers when I use my SkyTrak at night.

Here are the symptoms I see when the sun is interfering:

1) 10-20% drop in ball speed with all clubs
2) 30-50% drop in back spin numbers
3) everything is a perceived HUGE push--like 20 yards right of reality

It's extremely frustrating considering SkyTrak is advertised as an indoor/outdoor unit that reads things fine assuming no direct sunlight. I wish they'd come out with a new version that was less susceptible to sunny conditions.
