Since the baseline (distance from observer to axis of rotation) is so small compared the distance to the stars, I have basically made it zero length, in order to get the drawing somewhat to scale. I added a star A to the drawing to help my imagination, it could be any star that would be very close to the annual axis of rotation. Finally I made what it should look like if you took 24 nightly star trail pictures (spaced semi-monthly) and superimposed them on a single annual star trail. enough nightly star trails superimposed together should form the outline of the annual.Your comments please. I want to make sure I understand this and do not have something basic wrong.JA...
