Chuck,
Thanks for your last post in which your "corrections" of +1.12" for the 1st contact and +0.57" for the last contact are almost exactly the ones I have determined and published here : +1.14" and + 0.63".
The small differences between our respective results can probably be attributed to the fairly “large” minimum time increment of JPL Horizons - 0.5 s - which prevents you from fine tuning your results better.
Thanks again,
Kermit
