Dear fellow dialist, If you want to know more about sundials in the Czech Republic, have a look at the website of the Czech sundial society on http://www.astrohk.cz/slunecni_hodiny.html Of course it is a Czech website but it also presents information in English. Kind regards,

As I failed to get inside because of some reconstruction works, I've made photos of very nice vertical east sundials and armillary sphere on the top of Klementinum. http://www.analemma.ru/images/history/Klementinum_East_View.jpg http://www.analemma.ru/images/history/Klementinum_South-East_View.jpg http://www.analemma.ru/images/history/Klementinum_South_View.jpg As one can see from the photos (on south view armillary sphere is in original resolution), orientation of the sphere does not correspond to east wall dials, which showed the true time perfectly well (it was about 12:35, e.g. near true noon). May be somebody knows something about Klementium reconstruction. I also hope very much, that it is a temporary position of the sphere, but not mistake. I'll be gratefull for any information about exsibition of portable dials inside Klementium, if any exists. Thank you.
