MessageHi Tom,
I am pleased to meet you at the conference and now see that you are working at
connecting with the sundial community, via NASS and the Sundial Mailing List.

Hi there,
As a brand new member of NASS I was delighted with the reception I got at

interesting, and the camaraderie was wonderful. At this point I am just a

Hello Sundial Photographers:
For your use and pleasure, I have created two easy-to-use public Flickr
Group sundial photo sharing webpages for us to use. Anybody can post and

I think that Flickr.com is the best photo
To all of you sailor dialists, I have an instrument called a Marean-Kielhorn
Director. As I understand it, it was a part of every U.S. lifeboat during
WWII. It says that it is an instrument for determining direction at sea. It
appears to use a system of sighting the position of the sun to do
Greetings, fellow dialists,
An ancient sea captain of my acquaintance suggests, for sunrise, an open
circle with a short straight line tangental to the bottom of the circle

Dear Willy and other responders,
What a superb dial - colourful, clear and informative. Thank you for the
