The tilt of the analemma can give you your exact latitude and the UT time of
the exposures along with lens data can define the longitude. Each analemma
is specific to the exact location it was recorded. If you paste it into
another location, especially a well know tourist spot, it loses all meaning.
The tilt and elevation doesn't match the location. The scale is changed, the
whole thing is meaningless. The whole point of the analemma images is the
information they contain and it is location specific.
The images are artistic but the science is lost.

They contain information alright,the dumbest posssible people tried to
explain the difference between the total length of the natural day from
the 24 hour clock day by introducing that awful 'analemma' fudge based
on a variable tilting Earth into the Equation of Time correction.

Apparently nobody here has enough common sense to recognise that using
'solar altitude' as a means to explain the seasons is so primitive that
it actually is working against people trying to mesh climatology with
astronomy.

Is there not one individual here with a genuine regard for
astronomy,one person with enough common sense to recognise that the
orbital path of the Earth alters the way the division of the Earth's
orbital shadow and solar radiation changes against fixed axial
orientation.

Your analemma 'science' is a counter-productive and destructive set of
maneuvers made by men interested in finding longitude back in the 17th
century.Humanity suffers the price of vandalising the two greatest
known Western astronomical achievements - the isolation of the Earth's
orbital motion to explain the observed behavior of the planets and the
isolation of axial rotation for the correlation between clocks and
terrestrial longitude system at 4 minutes for each degree of rotation
making precisely 24 hours/360 degrees.

No person calling himself a Christian would ever want to live with
destructive falsehoods even if they were unintended and especially in
the discipline of astronomy.That not one of you has ever acknowledged
the basic correlation between clocks and axial rotation or tried to get
rid of these diseased 'analemma' justifications would indicate just how
desperate the situation actually is.
