That is really cool to incorporate the eclipse into the analemma (or Tutulemma, as I have learned a new word).

They must have calculated the eclipse near the solstice and figured from there. Outstanding effort and thanks for the post, SC.

I suppose that if you created an analemma at the equator, it would be a more symmetrical figure 8?

Is that where the infinity symbol originated?
