Why are the 'Fixed Stars' so FIXED?

You haven't changed the angle of the arrow.
I have introduced a factor that has the potential to cause fringe shifts
for very small angular velocities. The back end of a photon will hit
the mirror at a different point from the front end. It can easily be
displaced sideways by a number of wavelengths even at very small
rotational speeds.
I see a problem....
Lower frequencies, larger photons, would, by your theory, be 'skewed' by
even very slow motion of the source.
Skewed waves would display a noticable shift in wavelength, in addition to
that predicted by Doppler's formula.
Doppler radar would show very much different results than we observe. For
example, the doppler radar readings of hurrican winds would not match with
wind velocity data collected by other methods.
