While it is wonderful to predict the astronomical events like the sight of Venus and Jupiter in close proximity using a rotating celestial sphere, don't try to model the motions of the Earth, the other planets and solar system structure on that RA/Dec framework

I would love to know how astronomers using the RA/Dec framework can predict (for example) transits of Venus across the face of the Sun out to the year 2500 if no-one in history except you has ever understood the motions of Venus relative to Earth and Sun.

If "the new software" is accurate, it will give exactly the same results. If it does not give the same results, it will be wrong.

Either way, pointless.
