I would ask why we don't see the wobble in the apparent positions of satellites as well, but if you believe the former, the latter is only a handwave away from dismissal as well (I guess every single satellite has a big rocket and unlimited fuel to manuever in a way that compensates for the wobble perpetually and this magic high thrust rocket cannot be seen or sensed).

If it were, the North Star would no longer be the North Star. Yet there it is. Crudely spoken but in fact the Earth does wobble. Not like a sailor but like a top. The motion is called precession. The precessional period is around 26,000 years. And yes, the pole star does move. The position of the pole moves with respect to the stars. [link to en.wikipedia.org] The second motion is called nutation. It is a small deviation from the circular precession.

For the puproses of the discussion, "wobble" is meant to refer to this claimed motion, not precession or the smaller amplitude nutation. Indeed motions such as precession are known, predicted, and factored into the predictions of coordinates for stars and planets by many planetarium programs and GOTO telescopes.

You will quickly see that everything is exactly in place and moving completely predictably. Astrophotography absolutely RELY's on the predictability of the sky and the stability of the earth's rotational axis. Equatorially mounted photographic telescopes have their rotational axis adjusted to be exactly parallel to the earth's axis so that when moved backwards at a rate exactly equal to that at which the earth turns, long exposure photography is possible.
