Bug Description

At 140/3/21 14:23:21 UTC (with DeltaT 2h 23min) I have in Stellarium for the Sun:
RA/DE (J2000): 1h35m49.3s/+10°06'04.4"
RA/DE (of date): 23h59m30s/+0°03'56"
Using DE422 (at 0140-03-21 (Julian calendar), 16:46:30 TT which is 14:23 UT) : 1h35m48.37s +10°06'00.6" GCRS RA & dec.
Similar results are seen in SkyMap Pro9, Sky View Cafe and JPL NASA

So the RA/DE (J2000.0) value of Stellarium looks the same as other programs, but the DE (of date) is not zero (which is for the other programs)...

This is related to all the info in Question #243957.

All the best,
Victor

It seems the related branch fixes this nicely! RA 0h00m1.92s/DE 0° 0' 11.7" (including shift by topocentric parallax). I don't see DeltaT displayed, setting is default Espenak/Meeus.
