Add a trail - analemma

mkempfde Jun 28, 2004

I can not use the "add a trail" function to show the analemma. Maybe I
have a complete lack of understanding how this function is supposed to
work. This is what I'm doing. I want to display the analemma (figure
of eight) for 15.00 at my location. To do that I did the following steps:

1) set my location (48N, 9 E)
2) set time and date (15.00, today)
3) set level 2 (90 deg magnification)
4) set projection (gnomonic)
5) goto coordinates alt/az (32, 212)
6) right click on Sun, OK
7) click Animation, Add a trail
8) in the dialog box set step size (1 day), set Number of steps (365)
9) click OK

Result: NOTHING happens, NO trail drawn

If I use the similar Make ephemeris function, I get the table without
a problem. What I'm doing wrong??? Maybe the dumbest question ever
asked in this forum...
