Ok... a bit of critical thinking from me.
Can anyone explain how the star "tracking perfect circles" (Figure 1.2) doesn't disprove the FE? The centre of rotation is clearly not in nor close to zenith, meaning the photo was taken in a place not very close to the North Pole. What is the shape of the firmament (rotating and with stars glued onto it or whatever you think it is) so that the observed trails are circles? Shouldn't they be noticeably elongated ovals when observed from at least some spots on Earth? To my knowledge, they are no such places and on the FE model I commonly see (firmament symmetrical over the North Pole), the star trails are supposed to be circular only if observed from the North Pole (and more elongated the farther from the North Pole you are).

On the other hand, the speeds of the Earth, Sun and the Milky Way doesn't disprove anything. It just means all the stars are so far away, the distances traveled by the Earth within few hours of the creation time of a long-exposure photo are not affecting the star trails in a noticeable way.

Same thing with the Figure 1.4. The constelations look the same from any place on Earth. If the stars lied on a surface not very far away from us, two observers at two different locations would view the surface of the firmament from vastly different angles (and distances), hence the constellation shapes (and sizes) between those two observation positions would differ noticeably. It's not the case. Am I missing something?
