Hi there,
Did you never hear of straight up astronomy, as practiced by the Egyptians.
Starting at the last known all planet daylight event.
You take the first planet on the left and line it up due south and note the time.
You do the same for all of them and Pluto. Note date as well.
Take Pluto and move forward 496 years and line it up due south and note the time.
Work out the exact orbit by taking one set of Julian days from the other.
Work out all the orbits. Find the deviation from Pluto due south.
It takes Pluto 62 years to transit the quadrant. You have to fit all the planets
in the quadrant at one time during any point in time over the 62 years.
The duration of the event is a couple of months. Walk in the park!
