https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analemma

Analemmas for the sun, geostationary satellites, quasisatellites, and views from other planets are all mentioned in the Wikipedia article, but none for the Moon! I would think the moon would give a slightly different, but parallel, analemma every lunar month (maybe out of a 19-year cycle ?!?). Now, THAT would be a challenge to photograph!

Certainly not where I live. There would only be 3 or 4 clear pictures of the moon, and the rest would be pictures of cloud cover. With the Great Lakes nearby, clear, cloudless nights are as scarce as hen's teeth.
Very cool pics though. Thanks for posting.
