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...

For my own application I find that my shadow stick has the best Al Gore Rhythm (It has no rhythm, just stands there).
Woo-Hoo! A double
