Given that nobody has observed it without telescope and the model does not give limits of applicability, we limit its application to 1500..2500 + - Precession now follows the IAU2006 model in the long-time version from Vondrak + et al. 2011. + - Nutation is applied (IAU2000B solution).

There is more to follow in future versions. -The other big addition is a greatly improved collection of DSO data with lots of possibilities in a new GUI tab to select for object type and/or catalog. In total, 15 catalogs are now built-in! +We can therefore now show that planetary positions given by the commonly used solution +VSOP87 is applicable to -4000..+8000 only, and its use outside this range will give +somewhat artificial results.
