In contrast, the moon, since it shares the earth's heliocentric motion, does not have a component of its geostatic motion that mirrors the earth's orbit and thereby yields retrogression, as does the epicycle of a superior planet.

If heliostatic astronomy has no technical advantages, if thoroughly modern astronomy is not heliostatic, and if the arguments adduced by Copernicus were unconvincing, why were the early geostatic astronomies, Ptolemy's in particular, superseded?

If we make a scale model in a flat box of a geostatic solar system , driven perhaps by an electric motor , place it on a smooth table , and hold the sun still, allowing the box to slide around on the table, we obtain a heliostatic system.
