It has been suggested to me off list that my sundial may have the potential for some accuracy. If that is the case, then this correspondent also suggests that the radius from the gnomon to the equatorial ring may not be large enough and that there may be an optimum distance.
What distance from gnomon to ring (style to dial 8-) is optimimum? I'm using a rod for a gnomon but I'd be interested in the optimum figures for any type of gnomon. I selected my rod size by trying various rods at the design distance from a sheet of paper and choosing the one that seemed easiest to read. Nothing more scientific than that. Thanks, John B
