Yes it is.  The problem is that what you think of as the "center" of an equilateral triangle (where the three angle bisectors meet) isn't quite the same as what 2htdp/image considers the "center" (the center of the bounding rectangle).  However, if you figure out (by trigonometry) where the former "center" is, and overlay an invisible circle centered at that point, then when you rotate the whole complex, that point will appear unmoving.
