Not nearly good enough.

Presumably, these velocities were calculated using conventional doppler shifts.
Even if they were correct, measuring aberration of such low inclination stars
with sufficient accuracy to refute BaTh is impossible.

I have pointed out previously that just about the whole of astronomy is
completely wrong because it is totally ignorant of the Wilson Acceleration
wavelength Shift (WaSh or ADoppler). Many stellar velocities are much smaller
than they appear when calculated by conventional methods.

It doesn't hit at 90 degrees .. gees .. it is aberated. This has been known
for a LONG time. But the water in a long tube does not change the
aberation.

The diagram is misleading if not completely wrong.

A telescope is "aimed" by positioning its dielectics
and reflectors so that all paths from the emitter to
detector are the same length so they interfere constructively.

========================================
Bullshit, the diagram is fine.
http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Wave/Aberration.gif
It is "Sue..." that is misleading AND completely wrong.
