Above, 26 separate exposures were recorded to illustrate the regular solar motion -- a difficult project performed mostly during the calendar year 2006.
The images were taken at 8 am in the morning in northern New Jersey, USA, and digitally combined with a single foreground image later.
The individual images have since been combined into a movie.
Solstices correspond to the top and bottom of the figure-8, indicating the northern and southernmost excursions of the Sun in the sky.
