Thank you startrek I have seen your tutorial, a friend told me to use the sun and a stick, I did and it was fairly close, but I now want to do a permanent mark of some sort and only have a grassy backyard, I will try again on the weekend if the sun allows me to, last weekend I had about two seconds of sunlight within a minute of the high noon so wasn’t as spot on as I wanted
