If the Sagnac effect is due to aether then corrections will also have to be applied for the Earth's orbit around the Sun.

How do you know the ether is not dragged with? All the Sagnac experiment does is violate SR's second postulate in a lab. How can you possibly create a full solar system aether model from this?
Falsify SR in a lab... done... Does it create a full solar model? hmm this is a leap, that is not proposed Steven.

The answer is simple, Sagnacs do not measure changes in the speed of light but changes in the distance of the light path.

Who are you trying to kid. The emittor, splitter, detector are all in the frame of reference.
As you said before... for SR "put the ccd on the table, and you will see no interference"
This is not the result.
You then back tracked, and persist by analyzing the result from a non-rotating frame, thus creating your relative length contraction. It is simply not part of the experimental apparatus.
The ccd is on the table.
Mark is correct, here we go again. I answered the question from Virgs and supplied a well published reference from Professor Paul Marmet (i have plenty more, as they are continuously published). If it upsets you that Einstien's errors are discussed, that's up to you.
