Peter and Frank,
FWIW, I am using Meeus' formulas and the J2000 positions and proper motions from the FK5 catalogue. I cross-checked my spreadsheet with a few instances in the 2022 NA and saw a maximum difference of 0.2' in SHA for R. Kent. and 0.1' for Sirius.
I have attached an unlocked version of my spreadsheet for reference. But apparently you can open all of the tabs with LibreOffice anyway - even with the password protection. >:(
Right-click one of the tabs and select "Unhide" to show the hidden sheets. And please excuse the mess ... not all of it was meant to be seen.
Regards,
Sean C.
