The degrees arguments are as follows (the higher the degree, the earlier the Fajr time and the later the time for Isha):
-18 degrees for both Fajr and Isha: this is what a brother (scholar?) recommended should be applied internationally after his research.
-15 degrees for Isha, 18 degrees for Fajr: this is what people have observed empirically in North America (i.e. they noted the angle when the skies changed colour); this is what the majority of Muftis have recommended.
-12 degrees for Isha, 15 degrees for Fajr: this is what is recommended by the ulama who say that there should be ease and laxity in this issue; I don't know what else they have for supporting this position.
