I am a gnomonist, not an astronomer.
An accuracy of 1 minute for me is sufficient.
With differences of hours I have difficulty.

The spring equinox was about at 3-20-2002 18:50 UT
Midsummer is about at  6-21-2002 13:10 UT
The autumn equinox is about at 9-23-2002 04:40 UT
The difference between the time from spring equinox to midsummer on one
hand and the time from midsummer to autumn equinox on the other hand is
about 21:10 hours.

One should suppose there will be no difference in time between the
positions of the sun at declination 23.44° to 0° and between the
positions at declination 0° and -23.44°.

Can anyone give me an explication of this difference?
