Sorry, Gerald, you are simply delusional about this. You really don't have a clue...

You will probably have to accept that you are among the last to propose the 'solar vs sidereal' fiction as the people you look to for certainties have tried to change their story to 'leaps seconds' and an assertion that the Earth has been slowing down since the time of the dinosaurs to a idealized rotation once in 24 hours in the year 1820. The new proposal is a train to nowhere even if it buries humanity further into a clockwork framework with no reference to the motions of the planet whatsoever although it is designed for technological convenience.

I suppose there is always a rogue's satisfaction in perpetrating a scam at the expense of others but perhaps this particular one has gone on long enough. The greater satisfaction is in working with contemporary imaging and data and stacking these up to historical perceptions which have to be modified or adjusted to create genuine narratives of celestial structures, planetary motions, cause and effects between the Earth's motions and terrestrial sciences - things like that.
