Here is an exercise for you and be sure to take your time.

If the Ra\Dec system works using 3 years of 365 days and 1 year of 366
days,actually requires those values to work,can you guess what it means
as an accurate reflection of the Earth's orbital motion when you force
the stellar background into heliocentric reasoning.

A few years ago ,many would happily play along with your simpleminded
celestial sphere system couched in non geometric language but that is
then and this is now.When you base the Earth's orbital motion on the
calendrical system you get pure junk couched in wonderful math
