The principles which correlate a clock with axial rotation existed long before Keplerian orbital geometry was derived therefore it is possible to ignore the false attribution to the Equation of Time. What people can appreciate are the principles where clocks.terrestial longitudes and axial rotation work together - http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN0521850908&id=c_89z0jcJJ4C&pg=RA10-PA153&lpg=RA10-PA153&dq=huygens+longitude&sig=g9CMpcaQngV9ubENDaGrYyhLF4Y I am sure Maskelyne would be proud of you and your adherence to the celestial sphere but the exquisite principles based on axial rotation at 1 degree for each 4 minutes of axial rotation is there for all to enjoy.

(L) The principles for axial rotation at 1 degree for each 4 minutes of clock time and terrestial longitude existed long before the Keplerian refinements therefore no appeal to causes for the unequal length of the day are required .Gemma Frisius appear to be among the first to propose the principles which requires the Equation of Time to work. http://books.google.com/books?vid=3DISBN0754650200&id=3DsvgM0H3IlgwC&pg=3DP= A14&lpg=3DPA14&dq=3Dgemma+frisius+longitude&sig=3D9VKTeeQ5TIagoYrE4LorhI1JH= sU Squeeling is not going to help you out of that silly attempt to justify the return of a star to a meridian using the axial and orbital motions of the Earth.I am now enjoying the collection of explanations from those who can't be helped.This hilarious one is from the NMM no less - "Each solar day the Earth rotates 360=BA with respect to the Sun. Similarly the Earth rotates 360=BA with respect to the background stars in a sidereal day. During each solar day, the motion of the Earth around the Sun means the Earth rotates 361=BA with respect to the background stars." http://www.nmm.ac.uk/server/show/nav.00500300l005001000 Other ones seen here are axial rotation is 15.041 degrees per hour or the sidereal value 'wraps around' the Earth's geometry at 24 hours,ultimately it is junk by the same dynamicists who are busy demoting planets and irritating the hell out of astrophotographers.How did the dumbest people on Earth manage to hijack the exquisite astronomical tradition,surely even the astrophotographers have had enough.
