Dear John, That is a great dial. I really must look into this glass-based colouring that you use. I can testify to its durability. The six dials on the Gate of Honour at Gonville and Caius College are made with this technology and their colours look almost as good as new after the better part of 50 years.
Are you using local sun time or are you allowing some offset from the reference time zone meridian? I can't quite tell whether the 1 o'clock line is vertical! Roger Bailey says: > The high sun does cause significant > shadow problems. This is true though not as bad as low sun when you have trees and neighbouring buildings to contend with. The very first sundial I had a hand in was for a house with large overhanging eaves. The client's adviser showed me a photograph and I said the eaves could be a problem. The adviser then pointed out that the wall was almost direct east facing so would see the sun at sunrise and for the early morning hours. I then asked about trees and neighbouring buildings. "Oh, no problem", said the adviser, "the client has his private airstrip leading up to that wall of the house so it is pretty clear of obstructions!" All the best Frank --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
