I'm talking about the ellipse due to parallax.

Pathetic attempt to weasel out of a blunder.

I'm not weaselling out of anything. I have previously explained what I'm
talking about. You are just too stubborn to learn anything new.
I'll repeat it.
If the telescope does not alter its orientation at all during the six months,
the whole field of view will wobble in an ellipse with the above dimension.

Quite obviously, the movement due to aberation causes every object to move in
the same sized ellipse, the major axis of which subtends 41 seconds.

As I have explained before, when it comes to high precision
measurements, this just ain't so. For the contribution to
aberration resulting from a NEO satellite's orbital motions, the
difference in motion between one object and that of another
object located merely 1 degree away would average 50 mas.

The above distances are at the
star itself. Just divide by the star distance to get the angle. Remember I am
discussing what happens if the telescope is perfectly steady and does not spin
around once per day plus once per year.

Aberration should affect everything in the viewing field equally...assuming it
all arrives at c wrt earth. ...so relative star movments should be mainly due
to parallax. If light speed is NOT c, then the movements are complicated and
Hipparcos figures are wrong.

Unfortunately for you and your worthless theory, aberration
movements are all consistent with light speed being constant.

Crank, if a star moves in one ellipse due to parallax and another due to
aberration, how would you determine the contribution of each? If you assume
constant light speed for aberration, you will possibly be a long way out in
your parallax estimate.

The HST has imaged individual supergiant stars as far as 29 Mpc
away with a recessional velocity of 2100 km/s. High redshift
galaxies and quasars have been observed both above and below the
Earth's atmosphere with Z > 6.4, i.e. BaTh predicts that the
speed of the observed light is less than 0.14 c.

Yet the observed aberration of all of these objects are
consistent with the Bradley equation. The semi-major axes of the
stellar aberration ellipse for all these objects is identical to
that of stars with low recessional velocity.

Hence BaTh is disproven. Again.

Invoking "unification" doesn't doesn't help you. Where does the
light get unified? If light is unified as it enters the Earth's
atmosphere, then refraction will cause a galaxy 45 degrees from
the zenith to appear displaced 40 degrees from its true position.

If the Sun is surrounded by a wilsonian EM control sphere of let
us say, 100000 AU (approx 1.6 ly), then the Z > 6.4 galaxy will
show a yearly displacement of +/- 13.2 seconds of arc due to
refraction, this refractive displacement being easily
distinguished from aberration and from parallax (what parallax?).

BaTh is SO dead that it doesn't even stink anymore. Touch the
corpse of BaTh and it immediately disintegrates to dust...

In conventional parallax measurements, correcting for aberration
simply means seeing to it that the background stars match up.
Light speed considerations don't enter into matching up the
background.

Uh! No this is where an error could arise.
If it is assumed that aberration is the same for all objects...when in fact it
is NOT, then relative star movements will be due to a combination of factors.

If it is dependent on light speed, the dependence should have
been totally obvious, especially in the case of distant galaxies
and quasars. Unfortunately for you and your worthless theory, no
anomalies are seen attributable to light speed differences.

It wouldn't be obvious at all at ground level because all light is certainly
traveling at about c by the time it gets there, even without long distance
unification.

REPEAT:
