It may very well be that the discrepancies between the results for the positions of stars from widely separated observatories may be largely explained by this phenomenon...

The observations were undertaken by the Observatory staff in the effort to gather definite information regarding stars, hitherto only slightly known, and their findings have not hitherto been published anywhere.
