Paul said,
Because of the ratio of one AU to the distance to the stars, the apparent
angular change to these pole stars is trivial and certainly less than one mas.
This in fact is the phenomenon of parallax.
[ not so. This is not parallax. Parallax is an error of observation introduced
by the movement of the observer or the object observed relative to an
intermediate object.
Thats three 3 points. With only two points, observer and observed, parallax is
not involved. This despite other theories, or whatnot, is the true meaning.
What you meant to say is that extreme distances make the measurement of angles
of observation on a small base line very difficult. Question When does an
extreme distance become equal to infinity for an observation... ] PS why do you
call this an apparent angular change? Do you doubt the reality of it?
Paul Said. (well I think Paul said... his construction of the post was very
confusing.)
"Now if we start this construct rotating at the same rate as the Earth revolves
and we open the shutter for a short period once per mean solar day (equates to
midnight on the Earth) for 365 exposures of the single frame, then at the end
of one year, we will have a photograph of many stars in the form of concentric
circles each composed of 365 dots and centred on the North Ecliptic Pole.
Voila!"
Well yes if the earth was orbiting the sun that is what I would expect.. But
that is not what we get.. Not a itty bitty circle of dots.. at least thats
what our local astronomer says.
I actually have difficulty believing Paul wrote that, because of his latter
claim that no camera could see such detail, and perhaps it was Steven, in
support of his point, but it (my response) is still true nonetheless.

Quoting Philip M quoting Steven J ... 4. No observed yearly motion of stars
around ecliptic N/S-poles ...
Steven J ... It's true, no observed motion to match this criteria is observed
...
I don't think you responded to my challenge on this matter in my post -
Supplementary to "...supported by facts?" From Paul Deema Thu Oct 18 19:59:07

(In part).
Let me explain about the Heliocentric position.
One. The Earth rotates on an axis once per sidereal day with its North Pole
pointing to Polaris (give or take a degree) and its South Pole pointing to
Sigma Octantus (give or take a degree) the North and South Celestial Pole stars
respectively.
Two. The Earth revolves around the Sun at a distance of one AU (give or take
a million or two miles). As a consequence, the volume defined by the Earth's
axis on this annual journey is a cylinder -- not a cone. Because of the ratio
of one AU to the distance to the stars, the apparent angular change to these
pole stars is trivial and certainly less than one mas. This in fact is the
phenomenon of parallax.
Three. The best way to envisage rotation about the Ecliptic Poles is to
replace the Earth with a long flat narrow object oriented in the plane of the
Ecliptic, pivotted at the Sun and with an observation point at the end at one
AU distance. (This gets rid of the necessity of mentally struggling with the
Earth's axial inclination to the plane of the Ecliptic which seems to be such a
problem in the minds of Geocentrists, but if necessary, a mechanism to actually
resolve this difficulty can be explained). If we mount a camera at this
observation point and pointing up, it will be pointing at the (for convention)
North Ecliptic Pole. Now if we start this construct rotating at the same rate
as the Earth revolves and we open the shutter for a short period once per mean
solar day (equates to midnight on the Earth) for 365 exposures of the single
frame, then at the end of one year, we will have a photograph of many stars in
the form of concentric circles each composed of 365 dots and centred on the
North Ecliptic Pole. Voila!
Please -- demonstrate the weakness in my argument.
