I assume that, since the distance is different and the clock is running differently it would have to be taken into account. But then I don't even know how to program an orbit to take a satellite into Earth orbit. And mostly when I run into that sort of thing it is in science fiction, where all they have to say is "program the transit", or in speculative articles about interstellar travel, where the details are pretty much ignored.

Now they have mentioned that you have to allow for the proper motions of the stars, but that would be included in the variations due to relativity.

C is the universal speed limit.
