I am really learning a lot by reading the current discussion. As for accuracy, the clock was originally envisioned for "non-scientific" use. Something within the budget and building capabilities of the home enthusiast. A weekly deviation in seconds would seem tolerable. But I am encouraged those here will find the optimal solution.
Once operational, it might be worthwhile to port the design to PIC and provide a graphical interface for entering location data during programming. There appear to be PC solar clock apps online against which one could periodically compare the quartz clock and correct any accumulated error. http://www.jgiesen.de/sunclock/index.html Can't wait to build one.
