“I noticed that you seem to be backing away from your claim that Stellar aberration (Annual aberration) can be applied to the Sun. Annual aberration (stellar abberation) is just one of the many forms of aberration.” [excerpt]
Am I backing away from the claim that the apparent position of the Sun is shifted due to the aberration of light caused by the speed at which the Earth orbits the Sun?

No.

Annual Aberration applies to the Sun.
(As does Diurnal aberration)

“A special case of annual aberration is the nearly constant deflection of the Sun from its true position by κ towards the west (as viewed from Earth), opposite to the apparent motion of the Sun along the ecliptic.[1]

Oh excuse me, the exception generally proves the rule : )

Do you even know why it is called the annual aberration?
