10.5 SunPath Diagram

The SunPath program is run by activating the  button on the toolbar or from the Calculations drop-down menu:
 
The diagram represents a stereographic projection of the sky dome, with the apparent paths of the sun shown for one or more dates. Compass directions are shown round the outside of the diagram (these give the azimuth of the sun), and each of the internal circles represents altitude. This gives a plot of the sun’s course for the given days. Timelines can be turned on and off.
 
The selected location (if any), and the latitude and the longitude of the observer are displayed at the top left.
For more details on Sunpath see the separate document on this program.
