I was so surprised to know that Chaucer had such interest in the workings of an Astrolabe. It's not much of a surprise if you think that Astrolabe were the pocket GPS, pocket watch, pocket star chart of those times.

Solarigraphy and Analemma tracking are great fun if you have the luxury of an undisturbed access to the skies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solarigraphy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solarigraphy
