Is it possible to point the device to the other side and analyze the ones with the largest blueshift? This doubles the data points without additional hardware.
The last few are suspiciously accurate. I guess the author is adding the velocity of the Sun/Earth to the data. It would be nice to have that horizontal line in the graph too.
