Would you be willing to draw up the math and geometry that supports this claim? (Some primitive goat herders need pictures to look at!)

The math and the geometry would be the same in either scenario.

“The math and the geometry would be the same in either scenario.”

Well, since you were to much of a gentleman to draw it up, I did.


(Diurnal aberration)
(8.86405893 × 10^-5° or 0.31910612148041752800 arcseconds at the equator per my calculation; wikipedia says 0.32 arcseconds)

What is going to cause that photon's angle of atack to go from 8.86405893 × 10^-5° to 2.1°?

Now its your turn to draw a nice picture.

Buck up and be a man for once!

Show us where the 2.1° comes from!

ColdWater: does the math look right? ;)
