Hello Brent,
There is a very simple solar tracking sundial in my province, Limburg in
Flanders (Belgium).
It is siutated in the city of Maaseik.
It has no sophisticated electro-mechanical tracking system.

If the gnomon was a hollow pipe, a spot of light would
shine out of the bottom that could be used to indicate a
time and date.
With all of the photo voltaic systems available now the
