There "Joe Keller" says, in a post dated 23 May "from my theory above."

A day later, in another post: "My theory is that the microwaves are produced not by the "big bang" nor even in intergalactic space, but at an interface at which the sun's gravitational force is of a certain strength. The vacuum isn't empty; rather, it's like a pot of water. Water evaporates at an interface at which intermolecular forces are of a certain strength. Just as the infrared wavelength coming from boiling water is determined by the *pressure* at that interface (the surface of the water), the wavelength of the CMB is determined by the gravitational *potential* at the interface where the gravitational force is of a certain strength." and "It would be easier just to aim a telescope".

Two questions:

1) Is this indeed your 'theory'? If so, may we ask questions about it?

2) Where (what RA and Dec) should one 'aim a telescope'? In more detail, what are the coordinates, plus estimated (visual) magnitude(s), of this object, as a function of time (say, daily@UTC=00:00)?
