Dear Lars,
Thank to for your very interesting reply.
As regards SD's contractions - when pulled towards the zenith by refraction, right ? - I do not compute them with my Simulation Software, but I do compute them with my Lunar Software, both Software being sourced from the very same Ephemeris.
Since the difference between both Software is under 0.02', most probably the SD's contraction effects are at the most equal to 0.02', and possibly under such figure value, but I have not actually investigated this subject any further.
Thanks again to you Lars,
Kermit
