And if the object is 1/2 light day away, where would it's real position be?

Need more information. It's "real" position relative to you is going to depend on where you're standing, and what direction that 1/2 a light day is, relative to the Earth's rotation.

Need more information.

Figure it out the same way you did in post 1170. Move the Sun to 1/2 light day away. Where is its observed position and where is its real position?
