Quoting Richard Womer <rickpic...@gmail.com>:
I just looked it up: the "Precession of the Equinoxes" (to quote
Kipling) is September 22 at 10:29 P.M. EDT, which is a Monday.
I suggest a 24hour window on either side for the benefit of those of
us with very busy schedules.
Suggestion noted.
So far we have a few for a 12 hour window and some for 24 hour.
Further suggestions welcome before I make a dictatorial decision.
(PS. if I go for a 24 hour window, I will accept no excuses should
you fail to submit... ;-)> )
Cheers
Brian

Raise the bar, make it the same day as the Equinox.
Note that will be a different day depending on where you live. For
example, the 2014 September equinox is at 02:29 UT on September 23, so
that would make it September 23 for Europe/Australia but September 22
for the Americas.
(If we're doing a 24 hour period, my own preference would be +/- 12
hours from the actual time of the equinox, rather than a calendar
date, but I have a feeling we're getting a little too complex here...)
Maybe not. The first Synchronicity theme in 1998 required photos to be
taken at the actual time of the equinox. The next Synchronicity theme in
1999 allowed for a 2 hour window around UT. So +/- 12 hours doesn't seem
too restrictive.
It's easy to find out the time of the equinox at various locations and then
work out the local 'window of opportunity' - eg the website below lists the
time of the equinox at various cities worldwide:
