ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to gnomonics or sciatherics, the art of constructing solar chronometers. Prior solar chronometers have certain deficiencies depend- ing upon their design. Among these deficiencies are inaccurate time readings, non-conventional time indica- tions, limitations to reading only hours or date, and mechanical complexities. The present invention provides an improved solar chronometer in which a style is aligned with the celestial pole, and an equatorial member, preferably in the shape of a ring, is aligned with the equator. The style and equatorial member cast shadows upon a chart and the point where the shadows intersect indicates the hour and the date.
