All,
   
  Here is a new version of the 3d drawing. I show 3 orbits. The center one is 
with the baseline of yearly rotation (or translation) at zero. The other two 
orbits are to demonstrate that no matter how far out the yearly orbit is 
placed, everything is, mechanically, identical to the center. This is why no 
annual star trail can be recorded that is different than the nightly.... our 
mechanics of recording are identical.
   
  Allen, Your conception and logic are all correct, except for camera position 
during recording. The camera must maintain the same angle to the axis in 
question during recording. The camera in all cases under consideration (and in 
my drawing) still rotate about the nightly axis, therefore it will only record 
a nightly star trail. In order to record an annual star trail, the camera must 
rotate about the annual axis.... and to do that you must change the angle of 
the camera with each photo... but this would work for a fictitious axis too.
   
  JA...
