Optimize a small MFC app and fix some simple drawing issues

We have an application that displays a "sun clock" as shown in the screenshot below. It loads a bitmap image of the earth. calculates the sun position and shades the bitmap to indicate day/night.

Attached is a working test application. It works OK, but there are some minor issues. The bitmap is not redrawing itself when the parent window is repainted/erased. To reproduce the problem, cover the dialog with another window, or simply move the dialog on the screen. The earth image will disappear. If you have a good knowledge of MFC and GDI this should be easy to fix.

We also want to optimize the code. The mathematical calculations seem to be inefficient and it takes a long time to redraw the bitmap on slower computers. So we want someone to reduce the number of divisions/calculations and improve performance as much as possible. You must be good at math, and enjoy optimizing complex calculations. We will give a bonus if you can significantly optimize the code.
