There has been some discussion on this list of measuring time using a
sundial near a lunar eclipse (at the time the moon is 180 degrees away
from the sun and near the orbital node). Some may want to make
observations and report to this list. I, unfortunately, do not have a
high quality sundial. I do have a couple of astrolabes that I may use
to get some measurements.
According "Sky and Telescope" the maximum will occur July 28 11:34 UT.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.
