About the time in Baikonur
Clocks in Baikonur stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +5 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Kazakhstan.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Baikonur day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 04:00–12:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 05:56 and sunset at 07:43 local time, giving 13h 47m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (45.65, 63.28) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Baikonur.
