The interesting thing about this is how Tycho was still a skeptic of heliocentrism.

Interesting, but not all that unsual. Einstein, who got the Nobel prize not for his work on "relativity", but for work on the photoelectric effect, which lead others to develop quantum mechinics, never really believed that God plays dice with the Universe. (actually he wrote "I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice". (Not only does He, He sometimes throws them were they can't be seen).

Tycho’s meticulous observations were the foundation of modern astronomy to come.
