Which way do you face an equatorial sundial ?

To set the large  equatorial sundial, you must first find true South and adjust the gnomon to the correct latitude. Pointing the gnomon true South simply adjust the arrow to the correct latitude angle for your location. Doctor google provides helpful information on this topic. One way to to tell which sundial is for the northern or Southern Hemisphere is to check if the hour numbers are running clockwise or anti clockwise. Numbers on Southern Hemisphere Sundials always run anti clockwise, however the Northern Hemisphere sundials run in a clockwise direction.
