Wolf,

it is in fact not necessary to follow Einstein's version of SRT. I for 
myself follow the version of Hendrik Lorentz as it is based on known 
physical facts, not on fictitious assumptions about space-time. However 
there are relativistic facts which are obvious and independent of any 
formal version of SRT. That is the contraction of fields and the 
dilation of periodic processes. And these are for sure. The calculations 
according to Lienard-Wiechert are based on these fact to my knowledge. 
At present I have started to follow this derivation step by step but 
will need a bit of time.

Do we indeed see the sun in a position which is about 8 minutes 
retarded? From the view of the Earth the Sun can be taken as being in a 
fixed position without making a big mistake. But even if the sun would 
be moving in relation to our planetary system that would not matter in 
this case  The point is that the vectors of any fields originating at a 
moving object do not point to (or from) the visible position of its 
source but from the advanced position, where the object is when the 
field is received.

As far as I understand what you write (or van Flanders writes) about the 
US naval data, these date describe the visible position of the sun, so 
the direction from which the photons arrive. That is obviously not a 
field. And if the direction of the gravitational field would be towards 
the retarded position then the orbital speed of the Earth would in fact 
change with time. Which is not the case - But independent of this 
consideration, this case seems particularly simple to me. As stated 
above, from the view of the Earth the Sun can be taken as being in a 
fixed position. With respect to this position the Sun has a constant 
gravitational field in all directions. If now the Earth orbits the sun 
then this steady field will reach the Earth as always coming from the 
centre of the sun. The motion of the Earth is of no influence. - The 
interesting case for this problem discussed at other places is the one 
of a double star. If both stars orbit each other then the position of 
one star changes permanently as seen from the other star. In that case 
the direction of the field and the propagation speed of the field are of 
relevance. But also for these cases the relativistic calculation seems 
to show that the fields are pointing towards the centre of the orbit 
following the Lienard-Wiechert calculation of potential.

I shall come back here as soon as I am more familiar with this case.
