- Purpose of use
- To know how fast/slow building shadows lengthen so my morning walks are cooler. This may seem trivial compared with other users but I would really struggle with the trig calculations and I feel we ought to be able to know things like this. Thanks for making that possible.

- Purpose of use
- My company takes vertical imagery from fixed wing aircraft for use in mapping and engineering. Specifications of imagery products often hinge on certain sun angle windows.
- Comment/Request
- I use your 'Solar elevation angle (for a day) Calculator on a daily basis. I would also like to be able to look up a specific sun angle window and see a table that calculates all the dates where that range is possible at a certain location.
For example, I'd like to be able to look up the city of Seattle, Washington, and specify a sun angle range of 30 degrees to 45 degrees. I would like to see a chart that shows me the dates and times that range occurs for a calendar year.
Thank you for your website! I use it often!!
