As has been said many times before: per canon, your position at jump exit relative to your intended target varies by much less than you seem to believe. There is also no basis for the calculation you keep seeming to want to do. Nothing in published material or any known physics requires that jump emergence points be fixed relative to the star. The planet's velocity relative to the star is thus completely irrelevant. - Tim
