But can a constantly accelerating frame of reference be used? If it were possible to base a frame of reference on the rotating bucket, then the distant galaxies would be traveling around that bucket at greater than the speed of light.

Quoting from "Relational Mechanics" by Andre K. T. Assis,
1999 (This book can be purchased at Amazon.com.)
p. 66
"Newton's Bucket Experiment
... What is important to stress here and in the previous
examples of the circular orbit of the planets and of the
two globes, is that this centrifugal force has no physical
origin in Newtonian mechanics ...
p. 217
"... relational mechanics predicts the appearance of a
real gravitational centrifugal force exerted by the distant
universe spinning around the bucket. We can then say that
this centrifugal force presses the water against the wall
of the bucket making the water rise on this wall until the
centrifugal force is balanced by the gradient of pressure."
p.259
"... the main lines ... have already been laid down:
NO ABSOLUTE S! PACE OR TIME [my caps];
only relational quantities should be involved;
all forces should come from interactions between material
bodies;
for point particles the force should be directed along the
line joining them and should obey the principle of action
and reaction; ..."
p. 261
"... We have been able to eplain the coincidence of
Newtonian mechanics that the universe as a whole does
not rotate relative to absolute space or to any inertial
frame of reference. In other words, we have explained why
the kinematical rotation of the earth is identical to its
dynamical rotation ...
We have derived the fact that all inertial forces
of Newtonian mechanics, like the centrifugal force or
Coriolis forces, are real forces ... This also explains
the concavity in Newton's bucket as due to a relative
rotation between the water and the distant universe ..."
p. 219
"Foucault's Pendulum
... What should ! be emphasized again is that relational
mechanics offers a physical explanation of the Coriolis
force. It is now seen as a real gravitational force due
to a relative rotation between the earth and the frame of
distant galaxies,"
