As it is in Ephemerides task, O–C can be calculated with different accuracy. ... It presents three modes of accuracy. One can calculate position of a minor planet by the formulae of elliptic motion starting from the fundamental set of elements for given minor planet. ... Also there is possibility to calculate positions taking into account perturbations from different sets of perturbing bodies by numerical integration ( Integration mode). ... Accuracy of integration is equal to 10**(–10) AU. ...
