In the course of implementing the use of nonrotating origin (Guinot 1979) in astrometric VLBI, for the transformation between celestial and terrestrial frames, we have compared the new approach with the classical one. We have shown that a difference exists between the two procedures at a few milliarcsecond level; this difference is due to the terms generally neglected when considering the equation of equinoxes in the classical representation of the Earth angle of rotation.
