Dear Paul,
These would appear exactly like the nightly trails. How does this show a 2nd
rotation?
This has already been stated by others on this forum.

The camera is NAILED to the plank.
It does NOT spin.
The plank slides around the Sun on the plane of the ecliptic.
The camera points to the ecliptic pole.
In one year the camera will have moved radially through 360 deg.
Pictures taken whenever you feel the need to bleed your hydraulic system when
overlaid WILL show an annual set of concentric star trails composed of randomly
spaced dots and centred on the ecliptic pole.
What don't you understand?

Paul,
If your camera on your plank diagram spun on its axis around the
globe(nightly) ..it will not get the same photo as it does going around the
plank at the same angle!.......try it <Try it? I don't understand what you
would have me try!!!> i already know it.... but you try it and see. You will
not get the same photograph! The rotation take place on two different axis the
angle of the camera is irrelevant!.<OK -- I've pointed it at the celestial
equator.>...However, i think a more fixed mechanics would be easier..but don’t
take my word for it take a globe with the camera at the same angle of the globe
spin it and you will get one photo..nightly...now take that same thing and put
it on a merry-go-round leave the angle alone. taking the photo only at the 24
hour mark.....YOU WILL NOT GET THE SAME PHOTO!.......... reason: The angle of
the camera is irrelevant. <Including the celestial equator?> The stars will
have different distances to the two different axis of rotation and the angle of
the camera which remained unchanged will not hide that fact! <Sorry but as
usual your description produces only confusion in my mind.>

I've looked again at your drawing and I still don't get it. I don't
understand how it is that others do, especially J A whose insight I've had
occasion to admire. I'm sorry you don't like my honest opinion but you made a
global request. And it's not semantics -- it's terminology.
I don't recall anyone responding at the time so I'll give you -- and anyone
else who wants a piece of me -- another chance to criticise my thoughts on the
matter. I don't like reposting but I've attached for the second time my drawing
'ThePlank.png'. Would anyone who finds this illustration difficult to
understand, please respond. I happen to think this is streets ahead in the race
to depict what heliocentrists think on this matter.

Dear Paul,
I haven't read your critique because (A) My drawing IS meant to show the
heliocentric model and the alleged two simultaneous rotations as described by
Neville's drawing. (B) In your criticism of my terminology I am assuming you
are unable to see what I'm obviously explaining even if it is wrong. Everyone
else seems to understand what I was getting at. Please spare me the semantics.
All who are checking my drawing: Please address your technical questions to
Neville whose drawing I attempted to show more graphically. The only change I
would make at this point is that I have indicated rotation of the ecliptic
plane. This is wrong although I doubt it would change anything the gist of my
illustration.

I've been thinking about your drawing too and am as puzzled as Marc V.
This drawing seems to be some sort of hybrid of both HC and GC systems. And
your later post says that the drawing is what you claim heliocentrists claim
which I for one disclaim.
I see a number of terminology problems here -- let me address these
first. [1] The Earth does not rotate on two axes -- it rotates on one axis and
revolves around the Sun (surprisingly not shown). [2] The word 'traverse' means
to cross, to follow a zig-zag course (several places).
Now problems of description. [3] It is not clear to me what is '..the
world...'. If the green circles are a spot on the world how then does its
surface encompass the plane of the ecliptic? [4] Earth rotates once in ~ 23h
56m not one (24h) day. [5] The Earth's orbit lies on the plane of the ecliptic,
the 'axis' of which is the NEP not the NCP (nice to have the company --
welcome!) This is the axis about which the Earth revolves -- a circular
translation. There is only one ecliptic plane -- not four, not 365.25 -- one!
[6] That one pole circles another is just a figure of speech in relative terms
used for illustrative purposes only. The stars are stationary. [7] As above --
there is only one rotation. You cannot compare radial velocity with
translational velocity. 'Happening on very different time scales' would be
closer.
I really don't know why you guys are so hung up over these issues -- the
whole thing is dead simple. There are two motions -
1. The Earth revolves around the Sun describing an ellipse on the
ecliptic plane. The Sun -- the centre of mass of Sun/Earth -- is at one focus
of the ellipse. This focus is also on the ecliptic plane. A line orthogonal to
this plane passing through the Sun is known as the Ecliptic Pole. It points in
a constant direction.
2. The Earth rotates on its axis (you can't have one without the other
-- is this a redundancy I wonder?) once in ~ 23h 56m. The axis of this rotation
is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic. To a first approximation, there is no
precession. This axis is thus pointing always in one direction. It is called
the Celestial Pole and is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of
~ 66.5 deg or 23.5 deg from the ecliptic pole.
3. These motions do not interact. The Earth's axis of rotation could be
inclined at any angle to the ecliptic plane and it would have no effect on its
revolution. (See Uranus for example).
