As Roger already noted, most of the people stood on the label of the month, rather than on the point on the centerline to which the label referred.
Who knows a means by which visitors to a analemmatic sundial stand intuitively in the right place ? An instruction on a information panel doesn't work. I try it to place the labels of the month at a distance away from a separate meridian line. see http://www.wijzerweb.be/hasselt010A.html Willy Leenders Hasselt in Flanders (Belgium) Visit my website about the sundials in the province of Limburg (Flanders) with a section 'worth knowing about sundials' (mostly in Dutch): http://www.wijzerweb.be Op 10-mrt-2011, om 00:13 heeft Roger W.
