The orbits of celestial bodies follow the tracks above the dome like a perfect clock mechanism.
Some flat earthers (like Sandokhan) believe that the other plants are tiny, only a few dozen or hundred kilometers across. I guess they'd have to be tiny to fit inside the dome. This also makes them very close. Do you also believe that the the celestial bodies are close to us, only slightly further than the clouds?
If so, why aren't your asserted tracks visible? Surely someone with a telescope should be able to see them, either during the day or night or twilight, right?
To me the real north star and the surrounding stars are extremely far away otherwise they could not form specific reflections as seen on the northern hemiplane.
My hypothesis is, the track is not visible because it is made of some thing transparent as much as the dome is.
If we cannot see certain architectural celestial bodies, we can indicate their existences by the impacts in astronomical occurrences.
High leveled refractrion of sunlight needs a solid transparent body, more than mere air and gas.
I don't think the tracks on the dome theory is even remotely feasible.
In the heliocentric model planets orbit the sun in elliptical orbits.
In the geocentric model planets orbit the earth in some kind of flower-shaped orbits.
In the flat earth model planets cross the sky every day in circles.
If planets are using tracks on the dome, then they must be using a different track every day, as the planet's path on the sky as seen from any given location on earth will vary slightly from day to day.
There is also the problem of planet transits and occulations. Inferior planets do transit the sun, superior planets never do. Planets never transit the moon. Moon and Sun can both occultate planets.
That would indicate:
- The moon is always lower than planets
- The sun is sometimes higher and sometimes lower than inferior planets. This can be also confirmed by planetary phases of Venus and Mercury, which are also a difficult topic for FE.
- Superior planets are higher than the sun
That would mean the sun and the moon must be able to travel below planet tracks. How does that happen if the tracks are on the dome? It doesn't make any sense unless sun and moon are inside the dome. But the sun is also sometimes higher than Mercury and Venus, which would mean the sun is higher than the dome. It doesn't make any sense.
Other planets have their own moons as well, which from our perspective can be seen transiting the planet, adding further complexity to your model.

This map hast to be a joke.
