So, some observations are geocentric. We've never denied that, I've often used ECEF (earth centered earth fixed) coordinates in working with satellites. But, you said "all observations": "There I noted that all observation using the sky map of astronomy is geocentric, simply by its locating of objects by coordinates and constellations" That's really not true, for most observations.
