Hi Analemmatic dial aficionados: If you look closely at an analemmatic dial face drawing I made from Roger Bailey's new Delta Cad Macro for Banff Canada, you can see that the blue sunrise and sunset lines intersect the major axis line in the same general area but not exactly at the same point. (see PDF attachment).
There is not really a Bailey Point but a Bailey Zone. But for practical purposes, it is convenient to think of this as a single point. On the Picture Rock table analemmatic, I considered the Bailey Point to be where the Solstice lines intersect the major axis. But you can see from close inspection of the drawing that it would be more precise to use a point that is midway between the solstice line intersection and the Oct-1 line intersection. Does this seem like a good way to determine the "average" Bailey Point location? John John L. Carmichael Jr. Sundial Sculptures 925 E.
