Default sundials

Hi all

If you are interested by constructing your own sundial, you may be
interested by the web site www.shadowspro.com

It provides a freeware program to calculate plane sundials (any orientation
and inclination), analemmatic sundials and cylindrical sundals. They can be
built for any place in the world, including the southern hemisphere.
Sundials are printed full scale with all data needed to create a real
sundial. It is really simple to use.

In addition, you can simulate the shadow path on your sundial for a given
instant or in an animation. An astronomical ephemeris is also provided.

This program is provided in 8 languages, English, French, German, Italian,
Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Hungarian and comes with an extensive HTML
online help.

Come and visit the web site to see screen capture and view the list of
functions; and download the program.

Thanks
