Re: Can I share Universal Analemmatic Sundial image?
Roger and Patrick: (addressed separately below) Roger-- Thanks for the answer. I wanted to find out what NASS permits. It permits, in the case of the Universal Analemmatic sun-compass image, sending 1 copy to any of 1 or more individuals, but it doesn't permit posting an image to forums. That's what I wanted to find out. In a week or a few weeks, I'll ask, here, if it's permissible to post, to a forum, a link to a NASS webpage that has an image of the Universal Analemmatic sun-compass...and, if so, what URL to link to. I won't ask that question today, because I've already asked a question and gotten an answer today. Michael Ossipoff Patrick-- Thanks for the reply.

Regards, Roger Bailey NASS Secretary From: Michael Ossipoff Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2015 7:40 AM To: sundial@uni-koeln.de Subject: Can I share Universal Analemmatic Sundial image? I know that often one shouldn’t share an organization’s printed materials. Is it alright to send, to individuals, a copy of one of NASS’s PowerPoint files with the image of the Universal Analemmatic sun compass? Taking the question a step farther, it it alright to post it at a forum discussion of methods for solar direction-finding? That’s an ingenious device, and I was surprised to find out that it was first introduced no later than 1660. The “N” at the noon direction puzzled me at first, until I realized that it was the direction of a shadow at noon, not the sun. That sun-compass is a particularly useful, convenient and versatile one, because it can be used even when it isn’t in the sunlight. If you’re in a car or train, and shadows of telephone poles are visible outside your window, then the device can give north, by showing the angle between north and a shadow’s direction. Thanks to NASS and to Fred Sawyer for those images of the Universal Analemmatic sun-compass.
