We all know that if you take a pictures of the sun at some time like 4PM, ignoring daylight savings time, it will be higher in the sky in summer and very low in winter. But did you know that due to the earth’s tilt and orbit, it appears to shift a bit north and south as well. 36 photos were taken during the year to form the analemma (figure 8), and 31 photos during one single day to form the horizontal track,
How is your level of patience in waiting a few hours or days to see results of an experiment? Can you handle a year? The DMS roof would be an excellent location. The overall photo would not be great but we are talking science here, not art.
Using a pinhole camera like the second link, calibration could be done in an afternoon with an exposure every 30 minutes at increasing longer times. At sundown, pull the results and shift the camera if you need to repeat. From my photography days, I recall undeveloped print paper that would darken when exposed to light. This seems to be the same effect in a pinhole camera. No chemicals, no negative. @Josh_Melnick @artg_dms @Kevin
