Rotating background image opposite to direction of div

Question

Question [Resolved]: How do I rotate the background image of a circle?
Link: https://codepen.io/Refath/pen/XaoMEj

Hi, I'm trying to rotate the background image of a circle element the opposite direction, but at the same magnitude of rotation, so that the background remains straight relative to the user.

I've tried to use css keyframes, but realized this would not be the best idea, and then tried to implement the solution given [here][1], also failing after some tweaks. Thanks; Any help is appreciated (I'm not an advanced web developer, so I don't have much experience with JS, etc.)
