Shadows Pro is a software package for designing sundials and astrolabes, developed by a French amateur astronomer François Blateyron. Shadows allows you to easily create a sundial customized for your location and then to build it thanks to printouts to scale. Shadows is free in its base level. It is used by thousands of users around the world. Discover the world of sundials on this web site through educational pages and photo galleries.
