JH Lite & calculations of Jup & Sat's positions

There is a difference for Jupiter and Saturn of at least two degrees. Moon's

positions are

almost the same as well as for the other planets, but there is a huge difference

for Jupiter

and Saturn. So much so that Jupiter becomes Atmakaraka. It is such a big

mistake, and perhaps

you could point that out about your free program.

 

With regards,

In fact, I came to know about this only today. It may just

be a bug or a shortcoming of the analytical model. I will

investigate this later. It is mostly a bug.

 

Meanwhile, two things:

 

(1) In this case, the values given by JH are more accurate

than those given by JHLite. JH is based on an accurate

ephemeris based on NASA data. If it has a clash with JHLite,

then JHLite is wrong.

 

(2) JHLite is based on some formulas (that is why it takes

only 1 MB). The formulas are essentially correct for today,

but they pick up error as you go back (or forward) in time.

For the 19th and 20th century, they should be fine.

 

I will investigate this and thank you for noticing it.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
