I think you have two choices. One is to use time as defined by ITU and their friends like GPS and something like IERS to tell you the offset from UTC/GPS/whatever to mean solar time. After that, it's just a bit of software. (Most of us probably can't help much because we don't understand which parts of the system you don't like and/or we don't understand the implementation details that you have already selected.) The other choice is to get a telescope and camera and track the sun yourself and setup a PLL to track mean solar time. You might check the Long Now project. I think they are PLL-ing to solar time, but it's all mechanical, no opportunities for FPGAs or your own OS. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
