All cameras have 360 degree azimuth. However what is not listed is the pitch.
-A 45deg pitch means 90deg FOV
-A 90deg pitch means is shows an entire hemisphere
-A 180deg pitch means is shows an entire sphere
Too many ads out there claiming 360 deg, which really doesn't tell you anything. Please show the pitch as well!

Seasonal Date Pairs
Seasonal Date pairs are days that exhibit the same Sun path in the sky (same number of days from nearest Solstice.) For example, Apr10 and Sep01 are date pairs (both 72 days from Summer Solstice.) For both of these days at 33deg north latitude, when the Sun is at 270deg azimuth it's also at 15deg elevation.

Notes
(yes Solstice doesn't always fall on the 21st, but it makes a good average)
(yes Leap Year offsets most of this by 1 day, leap day should really be at the end of the year)
