New book on sun position algorithms

System

A quick note to say that Amazon just published my new book called Sun Position, by John Clark Craig. For most uses the 0.02 degree accuracy algorithm (1/25 of the sun's apparent diameter) is great. For demanding applications, such as state-of-the-art heliostat and other concentrator systems, the 0.00003 degree accuracy algorithm is as good as you'll find anywhere. Read more about it at Amazon...
Thanks!

Thank You, Niel.
