You are a classical aetherist likeSeto and a few others here.
....there is no aether.

Light exists as ballistic packages in PURE VACUUM.

I found this article, which mentions that a water- filled telescope
was expected to behave differently from an air filled one.

This is one of the things about aberration that I do not understand.
If photons which have no length and mass hit a telescope lens at right
angles, how is filling it with water to make a difference? I don't
know why anyone even thought of it that way.

There is the Ether Drag Theory: NASA Laser Lunar Ranging

Analysis of the lunar ranging experiment in 2009 by D Gezari [5] [6]
prove the Sagnac effect as first order, and suggest either 'c' non-
constant or a quantum field 'ether' dragged by the planet. (wikipedia
Ether Drag)

Also, following the link:

The speed of laser light pulses launched from Earth and returned by a
retro-reflector on the Moon was calculated from precision round-trip
time-of-flight measurements and modeled distances. The measured speed
of light (c) in the moving observers rest frame was found to exceed
the canonical value c = 299,792,458 m/s by 200+/-10 m/s, just the
speed of the observatory along the line-of-sight due to the rotation
of the Earth during the measurements. This is a first-order violation
of local Lorentz invariance; the speed of light seems to depend on the
motion of the observer after all, as in classical wave theory, and
implies that a preferred reference frame exists for the propagation of
light. However, the present experiment cannot identify the physical
system to which such a reference frame might be tied.


and implies that a preferred reference frame exists for the
propagation of light

Curioser. I think this one wont make it to the SRT hall of Fame

Its not that hard.

The faster an object moves, the less aberration there is. That is easily
shown

Consider two object moving downward (on this page) at different speeds.
From an observer at rest wrt the page you'd see these paths (over time)

.. o O
.. o O
.. o O
.. O
.. O


A moving observer would see

.. o O
.. o O
.. o O
.. O
.. O

The faster moving O is less aberrated.

As light moves slower in water than air, then the light should show more
aberration in a water filled telescope

You need to know what hypothesis was being tested.

HST was not designed to do precise astrometry. Hipparcos was.

The Hipparcos catalog includes over 100,000 stars measured to
a median accuracy of about 0.001 arcseconds. The stars in this
catalog include LHS 50, with a radial velocity of 308 km/s, and
LHS 64, with a radial velocity of -260 km/s.

Differential aberration as predicted by emission theories
should have been easy to observe.

Conclusion: Light travels at constant c. Emission theories are
disproven, as usual.

OK so far

At what angle does the light hit the telescope? 90 degrees? WHy should
that light be aberrated?

So we have moved from SRT is validated by billions of experiments to

That analysis is under debate?

I can see why Androcles goes mad. Hang on Androcles
