Question: I need to draw a sun map of my backyard so I can plan my no lawn landscape. In short, I’m doing it now because I’m applying for a grant to install the landscape and didn’t have time this summer. But the sun is at a different position than it is at the summer solstice (which is when you’re supposed to draw them) and the days are shorter. Is there a known, relatively easy way to adjust a sun map drawn in autumn to accurately reflect the sun in summer?
