To create a daily pic of where the sun will set, I am using a 6000 pixel wide photo.
MP numbers are pics with images of that day.
The pos is where I will locate the 'sun' on that day.
Using picture publisher I will paste one of the mini suns and position it on the screen ctrl shift q, (using pixels)
x is the horzontal position and y the vertical. Y will be a constant.
If I used the same sun, it would appear to be a streak, but with different looks, not so much. Sun # will be the sun I will use for each pic.
In january it moves left to right until june.. numbers increase then reverse until dec 20th and increase for 11 days. Not sure I have it on the button but it is where I am now.
The little suns will go above the top, the earth orbit lower left, all the green area can be used for any pics to match the days and events of the year.
Because they are 'layers' if they do overlap the map properties the layer priority will put them behind that info
Finally figured out the basic templet. It is composed of 365 photos.
Through the year different month pics can be added at the top.
Weekly or special events can be pasted at the bottom right.
I started by creating the earth orbit, it is a video it's self composed of 365 pics, that are pasted in the templet, alone are HERE, jerky but with speed and tricks it will work great.
Each photo to be a transparency, meaning any kind of photos can be pasted to the green areas. When the transparancy is added it will cover everything except the green areas..
I named each pic MP001.JPG ... MP365.JPG. These to be stored where they can not be altared.
I can imagine other things that could be added. In other versions the prefix would be changed .. i.e. the days of the month could scroll with each photo, the earth tilt back and forth between the shortest and longest day of the year. Could be added in the top corners of the orbit.
My first year sun position video, began with just map pics, like this one
This version will have photos of our turf through out the year along with photos of things that are going on, what to get into at our magic 'mountain'. risingpark.blogspot.com
====================================
Through out centuries man has been looking up at the sky, worked on map equations their entire lives, calendars, many ..
Fun thoughts, seeing prez Trump changing the name of the Gulf. What were they thinking when they chose January 1st for a calendar mark?
Living on the top half of the earth the world standard for the first day of the year would be the longest day of the year, winter solstice. (Not sure how a transition could be made, unless they declared it.. this day will be.. ) While Donald might make lots of changes, this would be a leagcy as long as calendars were used on earth.
Leap year (extra day), why Febuary? In the year it is to take place, why not just add one more day at the end of December?
====================================
I did not account for leap year in my series of photos. Thinking it is the 58th day of the year, that pic being MP058.jpg
When the series of pics are loaded into a folder they will sort in order MP056.. MP057.JPG.
Simply by adding a file MP057B.JPG, It would be a place for the extra day for leap year.

Dual sunset
Standing on our "mountain" pointing the camera in the center of where the sun sets on the winter and summer solstice.. Pointing that direction the sun will set on the left in the winter and right in the summer.
Doing a time lapse of the sunset on that day in the summer with the prefix solxxxA.jpg, winter solxxxB.jpg sol001A.jpg
sol001B.jpg
sol002A.jpg
sol002B.jpg
sol070A.jpg
sol070B.jpg
Loaded in a movie maker program, they will sort every other solstice day of the year.
I will give it a try, but I think if they zoom by at the right speed, it will create a dual sunset video.
(If not a program can be created to paste half of one on the other)
Thinking both time lapse must start and end at the same time, using the same intervals.
To make pics sort in sequence each needs a 3 digit name.. mp001, mpo25, mp333
