Skyglobe sure looks thorough

Can you tell me if it provides a "horizon view" which shows me the
sun's predicted path across the sky as seen by me when I look out of
my window?


It can Skyglobe's a lovely little prog - my first shareware, registered in
1992.

If you get the horizon line horizontal across the middle of the circle;(up
or down arrow), look to the South (left or right arrow), zoom in or out to
suit (Z or shiftZ).

Space bar (turbo) feeds continual keypresses, T is one minute advance
(shift T is one minute back)

use system time, or shift time (H 1 hour forward, shift H one hour back) to
find dawn (sun crossing East horizon)

Space then T will run time forward in minutes (you can adjust the speed of
turbo with or ).

Bea aware this time of year you can't do it in one view as the sun rises in
the NE and sets in the NW, you will need to pan to get a full day.
