What you are talking about is a different type of aberration. It is quite amusing to note that the lack of any observed parallax of the stars used to be used as "proof" that the earth didn't move. Then in 1725 James Bradley managed to observe the "parallax" and it seemed that all the stars must be at the same distance. It turned out that this "parallax" was actually due to aberration and the real parallax is much smaller. > It seems necessary, to explain the phenomenon of aberration, and also the > doppler effect observed and alleged to be due to the annular orbit of the > earth, that in addition to a rotating cosmos every 24 hours, it would also > be necessary for it (cosmos) to be gyrating every 24 hours at the angle of > inclination given to the earth.

That the Sun is now the centre of universe? Or that all the stars (including the sun) rotate around the earth every 24 hours and all the stars (except the sun) also girate in sympathy with the sun?
