Question: Example with 5 focal ellipse

Nothing special, just out of boredom.
Learned about the existence of multifocal ellipses. I stopped at the option with 5 focuses and made the corresponding equation, when the sum of the distances from each point of the ellipse to these five points is constant. If we try to get rid of the radicals, we get an equation whose graph will contain branches that do not meet the condition of the constancy of the sum of the distances from points on the curve to our 5 fixed points. In my case (as usual) Draghilev's method is used to show that each point on the curve is at a fixed distance from 5 stationary points.
Is there a mathematical way to show the same thing? I think not, maybe some other numerical method. So then: is there an easier way? It is clear that the number of focuses can be larger.
