This article details the design and delineation of a reflective ceiling dial at the Horniman Museum, inspired by a sundial trail lecture. It sets out the mathematical formulation for determining coordinates on the dial, explaining how it relates to an equivalent declining, reclining dial. The authors emphasize that reflective dials are not inherently more complex to delineate than other planar sundials, providing formulas for angle and length calculations, and tables of coordinates for various times and declinations.
