MessageHans, Not the story of a sun eclipse but of the moon eclipse of August 1617 is showed on a beautiful sundial in Rufach, Alsace, France.
At that time and place the redish moon appeared above the surrounding mountains and people paniced what had happened with the moon. It was René Rohr who recalculated the story on the dial to confirm this moon eclipse and he took care for the retoration of the dial in 1979. A picture of the dial is for some time at: http://www.de-zonnewijzerkring.nl/downloads/rufach.jpg Best wishes, Fer.

I represent TravelQuest International, the world leader in eclipse chasing tours, and got to wondering if there is a list of dials commemorating eclipses. I did not find much from internet searching. I apologize in advance if I missed something before posting this. If anyone can provide a pointer or two, I would appreciate it.
