  The way light transmission of information to observers, regarding time, 
works of course:

Src(t0)................................|Obs(t0)|
Src(t1)>(t0)>......................|Obs(t1)|
Src(t2)>(t1)>(t0)>..............|Obs(t2)|
Src(t3)>(t2)>(t1)>(t0)>......|Obs(t3)|
Src(t4)>(t3)>(t2)>(t1)>|(t0)Obs(t4)|

(Src-real(t4)..........................|Src-virt(t0)Obs-real(t4)|)

  Or far better, far more like it, in my view:

Src(t0).....................................|Obs(t0)|
Src(t0)>(-t1)>.........................|Obs(t0)|
Src(t0)>(-t1)>(-t2)>................|Obs(t0)|
Src(t0)>(-t1)>(-t2)>(-t3)>.......|Obs(t0)|
Src(t0)>(-t1)>(-t2)>)-t3)>|(-t4)Obs(t0)|

  It would stretch out (in between) for traveling sources going aways from 
observers.

  It would squeeze (in between) for traveling sources oncoming to observers.

  Remember that time stops (t = 0) at the speed of light.
