Hal,

thanks for your comments and for pointing me to the Wikipedia articles.

Yes, the local region would appear to be collapsing (blue shift).

(By the way, and this is OT,  my view of the universe is that it is made of a 
plurality of local regions, all of them being collapsing into themselves, and 
at the same time are moving away from one another (expansion)).

I will keep a background noise in my mind on the subject.
