I don't care. I really don't.

Given Sol-Madrigal 84LY and Madrigal-Halo 111LY, Halo could be anywhere from 27 to 195 LY from Sol depending on the geometry.
Suppose that it's 1 mile from my house to a grocery story, and it's 1.05 miles from the grocery store to the house of my next-door neighbor. This is entirely possible, and does not imply that my next-door-neighbor's house is 2.05 miles from mine.
Ah, but: it is two month from Reach (aprox. 157.5 LY), and Reach is 10.5 LY from Sol. Knowing this, Harvest is quite the distance away. Plus, Madrigal was the nearest colony.
So Harvest is still a ridiculous distance from where the real one should be, and knowing this we should not assume where any of the systems are. Also, Procyon is in reality only 11.41 LY from Sol, and yet only five days via SlipSpace from Harvest, meaning it is also in the wrong place (it also means this is incosistent with the canon, but that's no the point).
