Dan, Steve Regarding the exact time of intersection: It requires a rather interesting problem of simultaneously minimizing EOT and declination between spring and fall dates.  Fortunately I have a spread sheet that implements the calculation of EOT to within a second or so and likewise

Hello, Tomorrow the Sun will have reached the point of intersection in the analemma 8-curve. How do you compute the exact time of intersection (i.e. when both the hour angle and the solar declination match for two days)? And does it have any special significance? Dan
