Must not leave out the "Doppler Shift" created by the Sun.They would be

The Sirius star and likely solar system that included Sirius C is only
8.6 light years away, and we're still kind of heading towards Sirius
at 7.6 km/s. Why is mainstream astronomy so deathly afraid to look at
Sirius, much less for uncovering Sirius C, that has got to be there?

I suppose it's the same reason you have been so afraid of looking at
Venus for signs of other intelligent life, and otherwise the same
reason why you don't have a real computer.
