It sounds like you are both wrong. :)

A real explanation I found sounds a bit more complicated than what’s being discused here.

I suppose the first step would be to use spherical coordinates.

“It sounds like you are both wrong. :)” [excerpt]
mrjesse and I both maintain that there is a ~21 arcsecond difference between the apparent and actual position of the sun due to the aberration of light.

Is that what you are saying we are wrong about?
