The partitioning of direct/retrogrades by perspective is immediately apparent in terms of the illusory loops of the slower moving outer planets and the actual loops of the faster moving inner planets as seen from the orbital motion of the Earth -

Until genuine astronomers affirm that the stars move from an evening appearance to a morning appearance as a consequence of a central Sun and a moving Earth, the proof of the Earth's orbital motion will be ignored as will all the modifications to bring comprehension up to 21st century imaging standards.

Precession of the Equinoxes

This is a consequence of the proportion of rotations not being exactly 1461 rotations to 4 orbital circuits as the original system where Sirius skips an first annual appearance by one day after 4 circuits of 365 days is reliant solely on the orbital motion of the Earth whereas the Greek astronomers used the motion of the Sun through the constellations.

The Equation of Time

A result of two surface rotations acting in combination but can be isolated by their distinctive day/night cycles both the diurnal and the polar.

The cause of the seasons

From the same cause as the natural noon variations insofar as the polar day/night cycle substitutes for seasonal changes in daylight/darkness.


So many challenges however I recognize that the mental and intuitive faculties have been so weakened over the centuries that not even the use of time lapse and sequential imaging can direct the reader's view towards huge changes in astronomical perspectives.
