You ignore the effect that I have repeatedly mentioned, that the light
must come from the direction 'where the star was when the light was
emitted'[modified by aberration]. So WH variable stars with large
proper motion MUST result in the fast photons coming from a different
location in the sky than the slow photons. This would make the image
waltz back and forth in time with the orbit RATHER than showing up as
variations in brightness.

The main purpose of this thread was to ascertain whether or not there
was enough star movement to cause this kind of effect.
the general cinsensus is that most stars are too far away for this to
happen.

Of course. 'Most stars' are not even visible with the naked eye. Most
stars are in distant galaxies.

You like computer programs, enjoy, this one shows motion of stars.

a google search for cepheid "with high proper motion"
turns up some very interesting hits.

well bob, most people here have convinced me that there is little
movement of the 'fixed satrs'


Fixed satrs! I like that

Amazing that 'most people here' could convince you of something that is NOT
true while many here have tried and failed to convince you of what is true.

We are not talking of 'fixed stars' when we speak of stars with high proper
motion.

Did you even go look at the animation at the link I posted?

Still too many questions left unanswered. I don't need the answers.

YOU are the one that needs the answers, if you are to ever be able to
support your theories. I have been trying to help you see that those
questions need to be answered.

The paranoid's delusions make him feel important.

A fool may ask more questions than 10 wise men can answer, but just because
someone asks a question does not mean that he is a fool. If it takes 20
wise men to answer the fools questions, he will know as much as 20 wise men
about the subject in question.--bz (c) 2007
