Yes but the gif is wrong. If the gif looked the same as what we see with the sun, the keyboard will remain still and the camera would rotate in our viewing of it. If that happens, one would think the tape on the camera would rotate with it. Thus making it not the same as what the OP is suggesting.
How are you not seeing that the keyboard gif is a perfect comparison and that it completely debunks the very simplistic assertions made by the OP.
Do you not see in both (rotating and stationary) of the original gif's from the OP the ENORMOUS corona artifact around the sun which doesn't rotate, but stays fixed in place. That's because regardless of how the sun is positioned these artifacts at the camera/lens end. The exact same as the OP's supposed artifact.
I genuinely can't believe this thread is still going and has so many flags.
I genuinely can't believe you cannot tell the difference between the keyboard GIF and the OP's gif.
If the Keyboard gif was Lined up so the Keyboard was stationary like OP's, the white tape would be what moves, except in the OP's gif after the sun is lined up the the 'artifact'' stays still

Have you read the thread?
Early in the thread Soylent Green is people showed a gif of a rotating keyboard, but he said he didn't rotate the keyboard, only the camera. So the rotation of the keyboard was an illusion, as is the rotation of the sun.
No, the corona of the sun clearly appears to rotate counter-clockwise in your gif.

As I've said, the object is stationary in the gif, but the sun's corona is not. Here is how one can make that determination

Now look at the orange circles, which encircle the object that is stationary in the OP's GIF. When comparing these two views, I have drawn an orange arrow to show the apparent rotation of the object enclosed in the orange circle.

I've seen your explanations, which is why I'm trying to get clarification.
You're saying the entire area within the red lines is an artifact even though the bright corona washes over it in its fluctuation. That's a pretty crappy camera if you throw everything that is stationary under the artifact rug to be able to claim the sun is rotating.
