Ok, a few quick script-mods and MX-CoreBlue is up on my laptop.

I'll be expanding the code a bit for my primary workstation, but so far I gotta say I'm happy with the layout.
PS: If/when Audacious is up and playing, a conky status for it shows on the left as well - bonus!
PPS: Just noticed the "Total Up" needed color adjustment - fixed - not worth uploading another screenie, but done nonetheless. Consistency. lolz

MX-Coreblue is my favorite conky and I kept it stock except for anything MX Linux specific. To get it to work properly with (X)Wayland I also added "require cairo_xlib" to the clockrings.luas script that accompanies this conky. Tightened up the spacing to allow it to display on my old HP laptop that has rather low resolution.

I've checked the output data several times now. It's fine for my location. There are no errors.
The apparent 'messiness' of the alignment based on the colon is, in my opinion, unrelated.
Does it clear up if you remove the colon?

No, there is no change.

Let's try something since there was a change in the remind file regarding $Latitude and $Longitude.
Edit the applicable lines in ~/.reminders.sun.v.unklar

## 50°45'48"N = 50.756389 N
## 12°37'48"E = 12.63 E
## Lichtenstein SA Germany

## $Latitude can range from "-90.0" to "90.0"
##   positive numbers = north of the equator
##   negative numbers = south of the equator
## $Longitude can range from "-180.0" to "180.0"
##   positive numbers = east of the Greenwich Meridian
##   negative numbers = west of the Greenwich Meridian

SET $Latitude "50.756389"
SET $Longitude "12.63"

##  SUN STUFF ##

FSET tomins(t) (hour(t) * 60) + minute(t)
FSET frommins(i) time(i / 60, i % 60)
FSET noon_solar(dt) sunrise(dt)+(sunset(dt)-sunrise(dt)) / 2
FSET _light_len(date) MAX(SUNSET(date)-SUNRISE(date), 0)
FSET _dark_len(date) 1440-_light_len(date)


MSG     50.756389 N  12.63 E
MSG     Lichtenstein Germany
MSG       Dämmerung [dawn()]
MSG   Sonnenaufgang [sunrise()]
MSG    Mittagssonne [noon_solar($T)]
MSG Sonnenuntergang [sunset()]
MSG  Abenddämmerung [dusk()]
MSG  
MSG   Tageslicht [_light_len($T)] Min
MSG   Nachtlicht [_dark_len($T)] Min

And from my test.conky:

TEXT
${alignc}↓ TEST CODE ↓
${color9}${swapbar 0}${color}
##---------------------------
${execpi 600 remind -q -r ~/.reminders.sun.v.unklar | sed -e "/.*(today):/d" -e '/^$/d'>~/.rsvu}\
${execpi 600 sed -n -e 1p -e 2p -e 3p -e 4p -e 5p -e 6p -e 7p -e 8p -e 9p -e 10p ~/.rsvu}

##---------------------------
${font}${color9}${swapbar 0}${color}
${alignc}↑ BETWEEN LINES ↑

NOTE the ending of the first line:

>~/.rsvu}

I'm also wondering is it's something in the sed part that might have changed upline:

 | sed -e "/.*(today):/d" -e '/^$/d'

That's Martain to me.

Running in a terminal I get no errors:

^It's not that important! I'll arrange the alignment in left-hand conky anyway.

If necessary, I can also ask my friend @marens, because it's definitely possible to use sed to center-align not only the first line but also the following lines from the file.

You're kidding. I learn something I pass it on!

Well I tried.

I revived an OLD conky ... old enough it had eth0 in the top two lines and vnstat in a terminal told me the database for enp5s0 didn't exist.
Deleted vnstat and reinstalled and it was using enp6s0 as it should be.

It will be 5 months before it's filled out.
Added it to my three windowed conkys that I call up read and close as needed.

Nice one. It looks familiar. But never owning a laptop .... I chose a Space Station - Starbase !#-10

Ah yes. I like that one.

##---------------------------
${font}${color9}${swapbar 0}${color}
${alignc}↑ BETWEEN LINES ↑

The ~/.rsvu file has whitespace at the beginning of each line:

    50.756389 N  12.63 E
    Lichtenstein Germany
      Dämmerung 06:04
  Sonnenaufgang 06:38
   Mittagssonne 13:05
Sonnenuntergang 19:33
 Abenddämmerung 20:06
 
  Tageslicht 775 Min
  Nachtlicht 665 Min

That should be removed, and a new file ~/.rsvu_left_aligned created:

$ cat ~/.rsvu | sed 's/^[ \t]*//'
50.756389 N  12.63 E
Lichtenstein Germany
Dämmerung 06:04
Sonnenaufgang 06:38
Mittagssonne 13:05
Sonnenuntergang 19:33
Abenddämmerung 20:06

Tageslicht 775 Min
Nachtlicht 665 Min

In test conky, it looks like this:

##---------------------------
${execpi 600 remind -q -r ~/.reminders.sun.v.unklar | sed -e "/.*(today):/d" -e '/^$/d'>~/.rsvu}\
${execpi 600 cat ~/.rsvu | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' > ~/.rsvu_left_aligned}

It is now possible to center every line in Conky using ${alignc} and the ~/.rsvu_left_aligned file.

EDIT
It might be enough to simply change the `remind` command to:

${execpi 600 remind -q -r ~/.reminders.sun.v.unklar | sed -e "/.*(today):/d" -e '/^$/d' -e '/^[ \t]*//'>~/.rsvu}\

If that works, the ~/.rsvu_left_aligned file is not needed.
Just add the lines to Conky in the usual way using ${alignc}, instead of:

${execpi 600 sed -n -e 1p -e 2p -e 3p -e 4p -e 5p -e 6p -e 7p -e 8p -e 9p -e 10p ~/.rsvu}

Note *
I don't have the remind installed and can't test it.
