Hi,

here is an include file that gives the position of the sun, for a given
date, time and place on earth. There also is a sundail.pov, the best object
for testing.

Some things I want to add, in the not so near future
(lots of other tings to do):
1, A realistic sun
2, Rise and set times of the sun.
3, Light intensity and colour temperature variation due to the distance the
light travels through the atmosphere and the amount of moisture/ particles/
pollution in the atmosphere.

It's my first inc of this kind. I'm no POV-guru, no math-wizzard, no dialist
and have no astro-knowledge. So any comments, suggestions, improvements are
welcome.

ingo
