Hi, What about a vernier dividing plate? A plate or disc is divided into, say, 360 holes plus a center hole. Over this is placed a second disc or arm with 10 holes taking up just 9 deg. which gives a vernier precision of 1/10 deg. The laser could be fixed to the top plate I have CNC

Carl I am attaching my custom laser trigon, the image is but 14k. I use it for dials about one foot square with gnomons of copper sheet. Errors creep in quickly as the dial plate expands in size. Alignment takes some time, and involves the rotational axis being well aligned with the style

Hi Alexei, I have built a lightweight laser trigon from a laser pointer and some scraps of perspex. As well as producing hour lines and declination lines on arbritrary surfaces, the trigon also has an attachment that allows it to project analemmas about any hour line. I have written up

Hello sundial friends Some time ago I read on some website about a Laser Trigon - which was a laser fitted onto an equatorial axis which I believe simulated the sun and could be used for the projection of the sun rays on any surface. However I have no idea where I saw this and would be grateful
