when we use redshift to determine direction, velocity of distant radiation sources do we not take into account the redshift due to gravitational forces?
that is, if gravitational fields can lengthen wavelengths of light (as well as bend them) wouldn't more distant objects like far off galaxies naturally be more inclined towards the red end of the spectrum because of accumulated gravitational interference?
am i missing something?
