Hello David, Girolamo Fantoni published "Moondials" in the BSS Bulletin 92-1. He describes a new design based on ideas by Ozanam (1699) using 15 lines for the lunar phases each day of the month. Rafael Soler has incorporated moondials using this 15 line technique as well as correction charts technique on some of his multifaceted sundials dials in Mallorca. The best example is the 1 m cube in the Soller Botanical Garden. Here are links to a couple of pictures. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ewOmDBn4RiFiCJDsANAtLSVg4eN4RQqVmec5g1exKas?feat=directlink https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/FLHiObHT9gJ7b0wbTU4K5yVg4eN4RQqVmec5g1exKas?feat=directlink
His book "Diseno Y Construccion de Relojes de Solar y de Luna" describes the techniques on pages 405 to 413. How is your Spanish? At the NASS conference in 2012 I gave a presentation on "Sundials in Mallorca" showing many examples of Rafael's remarkable designs. The cube dial is described on slides 52 to 56. I have uploaded in to a personal website. This link will start the download of the 28 MB PowerPoint file. http://www3.telus.net/public/rtbailey/BSS%20Tours/Sundials%20in%20Mallorca.ppt Enjoy, Roger Bailey Walking Shadow Designs ps. I am currently working on the concept of an analemmatic moondial. This "Lunacy" will be presented at the NASS conference this August. -------------------------------------------------- From: "David" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 11:29 PM To: "Sundial list" <[email protected]> Subject: Moon dial. > Dear All, > I have had a request to construct a moon dial for a vertical east-facing > wall. > This is new territory for me. > Can anyone point me in the direction of sources/computer programmes that > would give me guidance? > David Brown > Somerton, Somerset, UK > --------------------------------------------------- > https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial > > > > ----- > No virus found in this message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 2014.0.4577 / Virus Database: 3950/7493 - Release Date: 05/14/14 > ----- No virus found in this message.
