Hi
My first post in this group!
     I am interested if the testing, which can be done easyly
by astronomers, has ever been done the way I will describe
it below, or not.

This will not establish a value for c. You would have to assume that
Maxwell was correct, and the "ballistic photon" folks do not assume
that.

You could use the Moon as a shutter, and if the CMBR or other high-z
source that should be occulted by the Moon is not occulted at a
similar time as local visible light objects, then you will have
detected an anisotropy. The 1.3 second one-way transit time can be
multiplied by a (1+z) of almost 5 for some objects, and more than 1000
for the CMBR.

Might even get to publish a fancy paper or two on the subject.
