I came here expecting rainbows, lollipops and maybe even unicorns ... Boy, have I been fooled ...

Aside from that, good post [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-9d832e71-6ed4-45a8-8a7d-885d1b1a50c6/contentimage_5F00_3.png:16:16]

Actually, many authors define it in different ways. I'll have to see what astro uses.

Azimuth is the angle from NORTH to the sun's position moving clockwise

Might work for the northern hemisphere, but here in the important zones (well okay now under), the sun is north and goes moves anticlockwise. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-9d832e71-6ed4-45a8-8a7d-885d1b1a50c6/contentimage_5F00_2516.png:16:16]
