New diagram only #15-6...........To help demonstrate the subtle error of
claiming the annual motion only exist in the equatorial plane..
>
I have told you that your first figure of this post (two plots) are
projections on a plane - the ecliptic, which means that you miss the point
that a line (camera, umbrella, alligator I don't care what) sticking out
from a fixed pointed on Earth, will NOT stay in the ecliptic plane - rather
it will stay in the equatorial plane.
wrong! The vertical distance of travel that the camera moves (Up & down) over
the course of a year does not constitute the annual orbital motion remaining in
the celestial plane! ( diagram 15-5) it only demonstrates a angled view of the
motion that exist in the ecliptic plane. ( a simple experiment with a camera
will prove this for you) It only moves and stays in the ecliptic plane all year
long. that is the whole point and difference between angular view and a angular
displacement. If the camera was not in real rotation around the ecliptic then
yes there would only be the motions in the celestial plane. That is the
difference between real and imaginary axis & motion.
Your projections onto the ecliptic means that your top two plots of
this post, correspond to a top-view of your very bottom figure of this post.
The one with the title "This is NOT HC & THE TWO ARE NOT EQUIVALENT!"
- the title, of course, we agree on.
Despite the title, this is what you show in your very first two figures
of this post.

Absolutely correct.
But then we agree, and there is only one axis of rotation!
- the celestial axis.

Hmmm, I guess that precludes a camera that is fixed on Earth... the earth
translates to the ecliptic plane not the celestial.... that is why there is
rotaion on the ecliptic axis and not just the celestial axis....

That doesn't make sense. it is obvious you are not lookong at the diagrams they
define this for you.....#15-3
It is the whole Earth, including camera, that is performing a continuous
translational motion.
That motion is in the ecliptic plane. You have one
axis, the Y-axis, in the ecliptic plane. It takes two axes to define (span)
a plane if the axis are in that plane.
> It?s x axis to the celestial axis (see attached diagram.)

It only takes one axis to define a plane perendicular to that axis.
Your X-axis (the celestial axis) defines the equatorial plane and
your Z-axes lies in that plane.
> #15-3 The camera unequivocally rotates as a function of y & z vectors

Your statement doesn't make sense, and is therefore not unequivocal.
The rotation is around your X-axis (= the celestial axis). Your Z-axis
is in the equatorial plane, as defined by your X-axis. NO! The whole earth
and every point on earth moves in the ecliptic plane. The vertical distance
that the z y axis traverse (up & down) over the course of a year does not
constitute remaining in the equatorial/ celestial plane while in orbit! It does
effectively constitute remaining in the ecliptic plane. The condition of a
camera on the equatorial plane is only a angled view point of the rotation
around the ecliptic axis. Merely looking at a rotation from a different view
does not make it go away!? All you are doing is describing a angled view and
attempting to argue that it is the same thing as rotational motion on the
equatorial plane. They are not the same and that is a grossly erroneous
argument. Again the differences in the concepts and how you know one from the
other is the point of diagrams # 15-2; 15-3, 15-4 and now once more in 15-5
This is your fourth & by far your most subtle mistake.......
I will try to consolidate the issues of confusion I will try to consolidate
these over the next several days.........I think I understand exactly what &
why there is so much confusion with you and the others now.....

This is were I get thoroughly lost.
You are concerned about what happens to a camera, fixed on Earth, pointing
in a fixed direction with respect to Earth, and when I tell you what happens
to that camera I am dismissed as being irrelevant!
I think it's time for me to get back to work.
Allen, please read my replies and try to understand. We have hashed through
this same stuff so many times now.
