It's that time of year again for the Barnard's Star update. There is a

You have a fine site with really great pictures from an 8" Newtonian.
I checked out and get the following:
2LY/87mi/sec = 4,278 years not 8000
or, put it another way:
10sec/Yr * Range = 87mi/s
Range = 9.643 LY
Is there a way to tell whether it might not have other components of
velocity than just abaft the Newtonian axis?
I enjoyed the rest of your site too.
