" Venus seems at times to retrograde, particularly when it is nearest to the earth, like the superior planets, but for the opposite reason. For this regression of the superior planets happens because the motion of the earth is more rapid than theirs,
but with Venus, because it is slower; and because the superior planets enclose the great circle, whereas Venus is enclosed within it. Hence Venus is never in opposition to the sun, since the earth cannot come between them, but it moves within fixed
distances on either side of the sun. " Copernicus, Commetariolus, 1509

This is 500 years before satellite imaging tracking with the Earth demotes the Ptolemaic framework, whereas Copernicus was forced to explain his observations using Ptolemaic language.

That is consistent with his description, however, the availability of the C3 imaging allows for a streamlined approach which offers the observer a full perspective of the motion of the faster moving planets closer to the Sun while still accounting
for the Prtolemaic language of direct/retrogrades, superior/inferior planets, conjunctions and oppositions or any of the older and defunct language in this space age.
I so admire what that man did and only sorry that although 500 years ago, there are fewer people around today who have a grasp of what is being modified for our era in the partitioning of the faster moving and slower moving planets as seen from a
moving Earth.
500 years before satellite imaging and only 1,900 years after Aristarchus of Samos explained it.
It is worth repeating that you were the only contributor to affirm the transition of the stars from left to right of the stationary/central Sun as a consequence of the orbital motion of the Earth, thereby accepting the modification as opposed to the
Ptolemaic language of the motion of the Sun through the constellations. I find this remarkable insofar as the perceptive strength needed to make the judgment is also the one that gives a person satisfaction in what they are seeing and interpreting-

That is Mercury coming within range of the C3 camera in direct motion presently and in the opposite direction to the change in position of the stars when it is travelling behind the Sun and furthest from the Earth-
" Of all the orbits in the heaven, however, the most remarkable is that of Mercury, which traverses almost untraceable paths so that it cannot be easily studied. There is the further difficulty that it generally follows a course invisible in the sun's
rays and is observable on very few days. Yet Mercury too will be understood, provided that it is investigated by someone of superior ability. " Copernicus, Commentariolus
The satisfaction is seeing Mercury close to the Sun whereas those men could only capture brief sightings would normally evoke excitement yet even with this grandstand view from a satellite tracking further out, a discussion on the enormous modifications
needed to present it for general appreciation and enjoyment is almost impossible here and likewise anywhere else due to a dominant subculture.
You had the superior ability to discern the change in position of the stars as a consequence of orbital motion alone, yet you choose to remain with contrived perspectives that can be accounted for as clockwork and calendar perspectives.
