	Want to know the exact time of sunrise in 2000? Or Carl Lehrburger's account of an equinox site with a noon hour sundagger formed by fallen rock? Then this site is for you. Uncommon information is provided such as "Old Celtic calendars observed Cross Quarters, approximately midway between each pair of adjacent Equinox and Solstice days. Unlike modern calendars that define the start of a season on a Solstice or Equinox, the Celts perceived Solstices and Equinoxes as events occurring mid-season, with the seasons actually beginning and ending on the Cross Quarters." Interesting bibliography on ancient American petroglyphs and alignments.
	Atmospheric Refraction

	Orologi Solari e Meridiane
	http://www.sundials.eu/indexENU.htm
	Want software that allows you to draw a variety of gnomonic sundials with a variety of details? Then Orologi Solari e Meridiane is the site for you. Gian Casalegno, an experienced Italian sundialist, offers both software and explanations of sundial construction. Illustrated here is the orologio del pastore, the shepard dial. (To allow easier construction, the gnomon is actually a slit in the top cardboard flange.) Want to draw dials with Babylonian (Hours from Sunrise) or Italian Hours (Hour to Sunset) or Temporal Hours (12 hours in the daylight)? It’s available at the click of a button with Gian’s software.
	Photographer's Ephemeris
	https://photoephemeris.com/
	What happens when you combined Google Maps with a Luni-Solar ephemeris? The answer is The Photographer’s Ephemeris, a wonderful (and free .. but donations accepted) program by photographer and programmer Stephen Trainot. The program is nicely laid out and easy to use. You can use the program to determine sun or moon rise and set against a real landscape of mountains and irregular terrain. And if you climb a mountain, you’ll find that your sunrise occurs just a bit earlier and your sunset just a bit later due to elevation depression. If Ansel Adams had this!
	Shadows Pro
	https://www.shadowspro.com/en/index.html
	Want to create an astrolabe? A planisphere? Or one of a wide variety of sundials? François Blateyron has created a series of software programs suitable for the first time dialist or for experts. A testimonial comes from Jim Tallman of Artisan Sundials: “You may be interested to know that, for the 6th year, I used Shadows to lay out the Sawyer Prize Dial for NASS (North American Sundial Society), a special edition Spectra sundial. There are now 350+ Spectra dials out there under the sun, in 7 countries and about 40 US states. I used Shadows for every one of them. I use Shadows almost every day - I guess that makes me one of your power users! Thank you again for making it and for your ongoing efforts to continually improve it!” Shadows Pro is a very polished software for sundial makers. The entry level software is free of charge, with Expert and Professional level software costing from 20 to 60 €
