Default A rotating Earth with a proper inclination


An accurate and beautiful time lapse of the Earth close to the Equinox -

A horrible distortion of images showing our planet with a zero degree inclination close to the Equinox presently -

The traits of daily rotation and orbital motion play out in the fully illuminated face of the Earth so the manipulation of satellite imaging and all the technology behind it should be dismaying or worse.

With the North and South poles about to turn through the circle of illumination, what would it take to accurately represent the orientation with its 23 1/2 degree inclination ?. Nothing, it would take nothing is the answer yet not a responsible person around to do it.
