    Yes, you can add the following to the config, where lat is your latitude and lon is your longitude. You can find these for example using google maps. Just right click anywhere on the map and choose "What's here?" from the menu.

    [redshift]
location-provider=manual

[manual]
lat=48.1
lon=11.6
