Thanks for the responses Ivan and Bogdan. I should have clarified that
I do have most things working. My questions were just trying to
confirm that I used the most efficient approach.
I did read the documentation, wiki, and studied the API and other
plugins to get a handle on things. They were all

For note - which VSOP you use - 2000, 2002, 2002b or 2004?

Hi Gour,
Yes, I did read the information you have quoted. I agree that the
Swiss Ephemeris looks useful to Stellarium and has a compatible (GPL)
license.
However, as a trained research scientist I am very fussy about sources
and accuracy and I would like to see at minimum a peer-reviewed paper

Have you, at least, tried to read these few paragraphs:
The Swiss Ephemeris is based
I share Georg's feeling on this. The Swiss Ephemeris website seems to
be targeted towards an astrological audience rather than an
astronomical one.

Even though they used DE405/406, I feel uneasy when I read its target

programmers to build into their astrological software."
Just my 0.02...

Hi!
As far as I know, also the VSOP87 has a temporal limitation and was
derived to provide good results for about the years -4000...+8000. But I
don't know the exact behaviour, i.e. how fast it diverges from nature
beyond that range. Or can you please define "almost no limit"?
An improved VSOP so
