Multiple Exposures Of The Sun

Stormbringer_X1 writes "This image holds many first. Called an analemma (a figure 8 loop), it is a multiple exposure of the sun, where one observes the sun at the same time of day, over the period of a year. The patience and dedication to pull this off are emphasized by the fact that there are so few in existence (7 total including the first in 1979). It is the first analemma imaged in a single calendar year, the first on the southern meridian, and the first in Greece. The author has other images from 2002 that will be available soon. So stay tuned. Here is an image from NASA archives"

    The solar filter explains the stupid white dots and the (1 foreground exposure) explains the cloud and stone building thingy.
