Consider the Sun, S, and two stars A and B
which are at exactly 90 degrees as viewed
from the Solar System and in the plane of
the Earth's orbit. The path of the light
from B to us is shown in cyan.

When the Earth is at E' and moving from
right to left, the telescope has to be
angled as shown by the short white line so
the measured angle A-S-B is less than 90
and star B appears to be displaced to B'.
When Earth is at E" the angle is greater
than 90 and the star is displaced to B".

>>> .... The light beam that is diagonal in the
>>> telescope was actually diagonal when emitted.

Light emitted from B at the aberrated
angles is shown by the red lines and misses
the Solar System entirely, passing by at M'
and M" respectively.

My mistake, it is white on closer inspection
and only looked grey due to the narrowness.

I don't think he has actually got that far yet.

"In the static gravitational potential
the picture simplifies because there
is a distinguished time ý the one on
which metric is independent. This
time can be chosen as a universal
(world) one."

I don't know GR well enough but a statement like
that rings alarm bells. I don't have the time to
read the paper thoroughly but I note that on
page 3 they say:

"Actually, most modern textbooks and
monographs [14] derive the redshift
by using sophisticated general
relativity calculations, ...

<"well, duh" as certain countries say>

... e.g. using orthonormal bases (a
sequence of proper reference frames)
to define photon energy and parallel
transporting the photonýs 4-momentum
along its world-line."

however, while that is the strictest approach,
it is not even mentioned in their conclusion.

I think you are falling into the same trap or
am I misreading you?

My dance teacher has a better chance of that
than Henri ;-)

Sometimes I say 2 + 2 + 2 = 6
Sometime I say 2 x 3 = 6

I consider them the same.
The "trap" where I most often find myself is

2 + 2 + 2 = 8 But thin my spillin
is much bitter than my math. ;-)
