Socrates: the good, the beautiful and the true.

We are therefore going to talk about a sensitive subject, the notion of
relativistic aberration.

Note that in Hachel, two joint observers have strictly the same vision
of the universe (but with an aberration in x). Everything that is seen
by
one is seen at the same moment by the other; everything that is seen is
seen
by the other and vice versa; nothing that is not seen by one can be seen
by the other, and vice versa.

Dr. Hachel isn't being honest here.  The two observers do NOT have the
same
"vision" of the universe.  The cube with NOT be 60 meters away for the
moving
observer because of length contraction:  D will only be 36 meters, and
as for
"vision," the observer will see the cube >36 meters away because of the
finite
speed of light.  I feel no need nor desire to work this out, let alone
do the
off-axis calculations because I have better things to do with my time. I
worked out relativistic aberration calculations a long time ago to my
satisfaction.
Dr. Hachel should study the simpler relativistic situations, which he
has shown
that he does not understand.
