Is the sundial set for DST? Not setting a sundial forward in the spring and back in the fall could explain the apparent 45 min (which is close to an hour) "slowness". The sundial in my front yard wiggles on the stand enough so that I can tilt it one way or the other based on if we are on daylight saving time or standard time. The sundial also used to function as a bird feeder, so is a versatile yard ornament.

I was WONDERING. I should have tweaked it...I just got a book on sundials, so I've gotta build one.
