Allen, Ad.1) "The two motions nightly and annual would be the same, ...because they take place in the same plane" * The fact that the annual translational orbit takes place in the ecliptic plane, only affects the parallactic ellipses. * What you call the annual motion, still is only the nightly rotation seen at a progressing phase 360°/365.25days = about 1° per day or 4 minutes further per day. Ad.2) "It is nothing more then tilting your head/ camera while rotating (radial orientation) around a given axis." * I assume you mean the "given axis" axis to be the red axis, i.e., the ecliptic axis. * In that case, you are not correct, because that motion is NOT a ROTATION, but a TRANSLATION along a (nearly) circular path - the Earth's orbit. * If it was a rotation, your camera would point 47° away from Polaris half a year from when it does point to Polaris. This is not the case, as we do agree on. - Regner - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quoting Allen Daves <allendaves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > Thanks Ja, > > Exactly ... your diagram shows > > 1.
