Re: Calculating azimuth of sunrise and sunset from present back 25, 000 years

To get a small indication of the variation that occurs over long periods of 
time, you could try the excellent, easy to use and free Horizons program from 
JPL-NASA. It will take you back to 3000 BC. That's a step on the way to 25000 
years.

The program has a good web interface. Just google JPL Horizons to find it.

Does anyone have a copy of the following article or booklet?

Fischer, Karl Adolf Franz. 1963. Die Sonnenuhrmacher Engelbrecht in Beraun ; 
and Eine Sonnenuhr von Johann Engelbrecht.
NUZ. Neue Uhrmacher-Zeitung Alte Uhren. 14-17.

If so, could you scan it for me?  Thanks!
