Yes, Please do it is often very helpful to understand what something is not so
as to better understand what it is or could be.

"Normal" parallax is the effect of some stars shifting (let's say to the
right as you look at the photographic plate) with respect to (wrt) the majority
of stars in the image. Negative parallax is simply that the star has gone to
the left wrt the majority. Both are very slight effects.
The figure that I produced yesterday does not explain it afterall, but it
will serve to do away with the ancient stellatum idea.
I will put more explanation in when rewriting the page.
Sorry for any inconvenience, but thanks to those that read it and made
comments. My original writeup was more sound, but the additional material will
be useful I'm sure.

That is very helpful.......... I still have a little difficulty visualizing
negative parallax.......I can visualize parallax based on figure1 and Zero
would not demonstrate any angle difference but it is negative parallax that is
difficult to visualize is it just a measurement of the angle less then the
expected mean of zero..in which case the difference in the angle of observation
from two sightly different locations actually diverges rather then
converges?..The bell curve is very interesting as you point out it is rather
symmetrical and structured and makes it difficult to argue that the 46% of the
measurements used external of the rest of the measurements is anything other
then just an arbitrary dismissmissal of data based on preconceived ideas about
the cause of parallax...... As you put it "the number and symmetrical
distribution of these values would tend to deny this as being anything other
than an exception to the rule."
