What I call the "nebula" is the multicolored blob that rises in the approximate south at 18h and sets in the approximate north at 06h. It is not fixed relative to anything, and certainly moves past the stars at a steady clip.
As far as its distance is concerned, I will repeat my measurements soon and double check my surveying diagrams and report back.
Note that the stars in the night sky move in unusual patterns and that there is NO pole to their motions. If you look at one section it seems that they are moving consistently in one direction, but if you try to find the area where the stars circle a pole, there is none. My best bet is that the "stars" are an atmospheric phenomenon. That can also be seen by the fact that they pass in front of both the "sun" and the nebula.
The view of the sky that we see clearly shows a non-Newtonian system (speaking OOC) (i.e. not one that is built on stable orbits (starting with the fixed sun).
