Also, his knowledge of astronomy is woefully off the tracks...

You missed the point. There is no way to judge what he knows or doesn't
know about astronomy; he's not here for astronomy, he's here for
trolling. If he were an expert on all things astronomical (and he could
be, you know) he would have to conceal that fact. Because he's not here
for astronomy, he's here as a troll.

Well that is some piece of kit you have and I see Roland probably give you a deal on one of his celestial sphere mounts -

With the rise of celestial sphere software like stellarium, the rise of 'explanations' based on RA/Dec follow suit in an alarming sort of way as the Earth attains a zero degree inclination while the Sun crosses the meridian going North thereby causing the circle of illumination to go vertical on the equinox ! -

What to make of such contrived nonsense !.


The RA/Dec clockwork solar system of the 17th century finds its final justification, even though it is an outrigger of the calendar framework, as a pivoting circle of illumination and by any measure that is horrific.
