Consider the circles centered on the midpoints of the sides of a reference triangle and passing though the orthocenter .
These circles cut the sides in six points lying on a circle known as the second Droz-Farny circle.
It has radius
equal to that of the first Droz-Farny circle ,
but center is the circumcenter instead of the orthocenter .
The second Droz-Farny circle has circle function
(3)
corresponding to the symmedian point .
No Kimberling centers lie on the second Droz-Farny circle.
