Sorry for replying on my own post, but I wrote: > > I have a basic listing from an old school syllabus that allows you to > calculate the azimuth with an accuracy of about 10" (0.003gon).

It is a java application that calculates sun's azimuth, altitude and declination and the equation of time for any given location and time (see attached screendump). The app is freeware and will work until the end of 2009. It can use pc date and time and can store the data in an excel file. You will find it at: http://www.starmountain.nl/SunAzi.zip Extract it somewhere and start it by: java -jar "[path to the jar file]\SunAzi.jar" Please let me know any of the results. enjoy!
