Oro Valley Dial at night-Time Exposure

2011-06-15 Thread John Carmichael
I stumbled across this.
 
Somebody went out at night and took a time exposure of the Oro Valley
Sundial.  It shows the stars rotating around the North Celestial Pole which
the photographer aligned closely with the polar axis gnomon rod.

Skyscraper to be used as a Sundial in Manchester

2011-06-15 Thread Ian Maddocks

In a manner similar to the recent NASS article on using the Washington Monument 
as a dial, some people are to try this with the tallest skyscraper in 
Manchester, England next Tuesday (summer solstice)
