Hi
 
Last week was the official opening of the analemmatic sundial of Besançon, after its restoration, 102 years after it was installed by Mr Gruey, director of the observatory. This sundial is one of the very first analemmatic sundials ever created in the world.
 
Its restoration has been inspired by Frank Maes who pushed us in Besançon to set up a project and find fundings for that. Thanks Frank.
 
You may see pictures of the dial and its restoration here : www.cadrans-solaires.org/observatoire.html
 
Regards
François
