Suntrails in North Wales

[old_eyes]

One of my Christmas 2021 stocking fillers was a Solarcan single use pinhole camera for recording suntrails. I tied it to a drainpipe facing almost due south and left it exposing from January 2022 to May 2023.

This is the result. I like the way you can see the partially sunny days because you get a dotted or dashed trace. The diagonal lines at the bottom of the picture are the place where we usually park our car, so I suppose the headlights. Some fuzziness around the  fixed trees and outbuildings, so I guess the camera was moved about a bit by the wind.

A fun thing to do and a great gift for the astronomer in your life (as long as they are patient!).

My experiences of North Wales have been more hydrocentric than heliocentric but that is fascinating.
