Abstract: In this investigation the boundary value problem of light propagation in the gravitational field of one arbitrarily moving body with monopole structure is considered in the second post-Newtonian approximation. The solution of the boundary value problem comprises a set of altogether three transformations: k -> sigma and sigma -> n and k -> n. Analytical solutions of these transformations are given and the upper limit of each individual term is determined. Based on these results, simplified transformations are obtained by keeping only those terms relevant for the given goal accuracy of 1 nano-arcsecond in light deflection. Like in case of light propagation in the gravitational field of one body at rest, there are so-called enhanced terms which are of second post-Newtonian order but contain one and the same typical large numerical factor. Finally, the impact of enhanced terms beyond 2PN approximation is considered. It is found that enhanced 3PN terms are relevant for astrometry on the level of 1 nano-arcsecond in light deflection, while enhanced 4PN terms are negligible, except for grazing rays at the Sun.
