Hello All,
I've received a lot of gracious help from this list over the 13+ years
I have belonged to it, so when I find something I think might be
useful to list members I feel compelled to contribute.
I'm still looking for alternative mapping/satellite photo sites in an
effort to better serve my non-dialist Spectra customers who are not
inclined to do remote declination shadow measurements for me. Today I
found this one, and it has much more recent photography than Google
Earth/Maps for the neighborhood I am seeking, but I still haven't
found what I need. It may or may not be useful in all places, but I
never heard of it before, so here you go:

Again, if anyone knows of good alternative mapping sites to try when
GE is lacking, constructive suggestions would be appreciated...and
thank you to all those list members who have taken the time to help me
with questions in the past -- I appreciate it!

Dear list: I couldn't resist - it happens so rarely in December near
declination -23 deg! - Woody

====================
Dear gnomonic world,
We are pleased to announce the public launch of our SundialCam website
http://sunny.astro.washington.edu
at which you can see a live image, updated once per minute (even at
night!), of the large wall dial on the Physics/Astronomy Building of
the University of Washington, Seattle, USA. It is the only such
active webcam in the world, and we know that some of you will want to
stare at it for hours on end (or at least bookmark it...). You can
monitor not only the time in Seattle, but also the weather - once in
a while we have been known to have some rain (although it's clear
right now and the there's a lunar eclipse underway!).
The website has many features including our first two
time-lapse movies, of the all-day shadow on the summer solstice and
on the autumn equinox. (We also link to many other sundial time-lapse
movies done by others in the past.) There are also details of the
webcam setup, the dial itself, sundials in general, etc.
We will be adding time-lapses over the coming months,
including eventually all-year-long analemmas. We will also shortly be
improving the present camera so as to have higher-resolution images
and more reliabilty. If we should be off-line when you check (it
happens once in a while), please check again after a day.
We look forward to feedback from the international gnomonic
community, as well as information on any links we may have missed to
other such efforts now or in the past.
Cheers, Woody Sullivan & Ian Smith

Good morning,
For various parts of Australia, NearMap offers high-res imagery with
amazing detail. They apparently take their own air photos, and for some
areas, they have a time-series of earlier imagery.
Home page: https://www.nearmap.com/welcome-new (log-in for personal use)
Areas covered:
http://files.nearmap.com/public/website/NearMap-PhotoMap-Coverage.pdf
With the huge expansion of mining in Australia, their new coverage of
mining areas in NW Western Australia is impressive.
Cheers, John

Hi John,
Thanks for the link. It's quite amazing, at least for Oz: MUCH better
than GE!
best wishes,
Peter
