 First-order photon trajectory in scalar perturbations

For reception at the origin with unit propagation direction $e$, the null geodesic condition fixes $v({\eta }_0)=(1+2{\Psi }_0)e$. The perturbative spatial acceleration is $x^{i\prime \prime }=2e^{i}d\Psi /d\eta -2({\delta }^{ij}-e^i{e}^j){\partial }_j\Psi$. Its integrated trajectory is $x^i=e^i(\eta -{\eta }_0)+2e^i{\int }_{{\eta }_0}^{\eta }\Psi d{\eta }^{\prime }-2{\int }_{{\eta }_0}^{\eta }(\eta -{\eta }^{\prime })({\delta }^{ij}-e^i{e}^j){\partial }_j\Psi d{\eta }^{\prime }$. Potentials in these already first-order integrals can be evaluated on the straight background ray.
