I remember in the late '70s when Dennis di Cicco of "Sky & Telescope"
magazine published the first-ever analemma photo. It had actually taken
him two years, because he discovered at the end of the first year that
part of the loop was missing. Here's that photo:

And if you search for "analemma" on that website:

you'll get some other stunning results, including several involving
famous sites in Greece and one from Turkey that includes a total
eclipse!
