ASTRO: Porter Sundial at Stellafane
Another picture from the 2007 Convention. It shows the south face of the
Pink Clubhouse with it's Russell W. Porter sundial completed in 1924. (see: http://www.stellafane.com/history/early/sundial.html ). To the left of the two people you may be able to make out the works of the large solar telescope that feeds a large image of the sun into the upper room of the clubhouse. This scope was featured on the cover of Scientific American back in the 1920's and was thought to be lost. However club members found the mount parts rusting in the woods and were able to fully restore the old solar scope. The door opens into the kitchen with its still used wood-fired stove. George N |
