By doing a rough calculation I estimate the refraction due to spacial
dilation at the earth's surface to account for a 1.5 m/Km deflection of
incomming light.

1. Am I anywhere in the 'ballpark"

2, If so, how is this taken into account for long base interferometry? Would
not such a large difference in tragectory affect resolutions?

Correction : Deflection should read 1.5m / 1000Km

Spatial dilation? What's that?
Oh, you mean refraction.

I get 1.39 m/1000000km
