Thanks Stu

In the first video it is possible so see that the the Sun's and Earth's rotation axes are both tilted with respect to the ecliptic. This causes the Sun's poles to appear to point in different directions throughout the year as seen in an equatorially mounted telescope.

In all my three light images North is always up
