TFW you get to use a 1950s survey scope to pin azimuth for true north on an incoming Sundial.
A bit of fun, this Wild Heerbrug T3 (yes, that's its name) #canada government scope was donated to #yorkuniversity in 1980s, when the original York Sundial still existed.
Now we're getting a BIG Sundial and using a bit of the 50s from the 80s to align azimuth.
The location is awesomely aligned with @AllanICarswellObservatory for likely obvious reasons 😀 #astronomy #Astrodon #science #sundialsunday
