The celestial sphere is a map, it shows you where all the stars are and which one's you can see given your position. How come it works, it can be easily check by just looking at the sky at night, but it shouldn't work if the planet is flat. Now you could say the aether moves the light to make it look like a sphere. But occams razor, which would be simpler.

You may want to be more specific. Under the DE model, the stars form in a sphere, and we're limited in how many we can see simply by distance, and the angle we look at: whether the lit face is visible. I'm not sure where exactly your objections come from.
Also, don't try to apply Occam's Razor to no standard other than 'simplicity,' that can be very misleading. It applies solely to the number of unjustified assumptions made.
