Part one of my Analemma project. Over the course of 2023, I will record our Sun's unusual path through the sky. Keep exploring at brilliant.org/NebulaPhotos/. Get started for free, and hurry—the first 200 people get 20% off an annual premium subscription.

Note: one thing I forgot to say is the png panorama image should be 2048 px wide by 1024 px high or some multiple of those values.
