I'll point out what I see, and if others see it, fine and if not, I won't be shy about admitting I score better than 99% of the general population on standardized visual and spatial perception tests. Does that make me right? No of course not, but maybe I'm seeing things that other people have missed so I'll point out what I see and let people make up their own minds.

I have enjoyed reading both viewpoints in this thread. Thank you to the OP, Arbitrageur, Green, and others. Arbitrageur, I read your post above and my immediate thought was as follows:
Perhaps it would be useful to think about it from the other side of the coin. How would you go about proving that the data that we expect to see, such as the corona, aren't reflections and artifacts of the camera further fueling our own expectations?

Since there are some here who can't visualize what my rotated .gif represents, I present these images which are some of the ones used to make my .gif in chronological order.
some of the rotated images...

Here is your GIF from the OP.
Are you denying that the object I encircled in orange in my analysis is stationary in the lower left corner of this gif?
In the rotation gif the sun's corona is rotating. Things that aren't rotating are artifacts of the photographic apparatus.

Where the appearance of rotation in the corona can be explained by fluctuation, how can the inverse be explained in that the dark spots do not rotate?
