Hi,
I only know that AA in the table results are planetocentric. I dont know about the others programs including stellarium and what they use.
Which ever Stellarium uses I would think the results would still be at least close to the the other programs results.
The other planets besides specifically Jupiter, Uranus and Venus if they are planetographic in stellarium they were still close to the other programs results so they were in my mind ok.
Maybe Jupiter, Uranus and Venus has more flattening then the other planets? I dont know. I didnt think so to the degree they would effect the numbers so much.
I attached a pic of my comparisons of the tables.
I hope it helps somewhat.
I color shaded and converted to decimal and connected values which should be similar.
Iam ignoring redshift 3 results and putting in that area the result of adding 180 to the AA values.
When I did these comparisons,the issues with Jupiter, Uranus and Venus became noticable.
Pluto may be off to compared to others but my study was incomplete
Sorry about neatness of the table comparisons I was not expecting to show to anyone.
