Ability to compute occultations

[moble]

In discussing "observations of stellar occultations by planets or asteroids" there is a footnote in the guide that says

stellarium/guide/ch_astronomical_concepts.tex

Lines 1083 to 1085 in cf55b7c

	size.\footnote{Unfortunately Stellarium (as of v0.15.0) is not accurate
	enough to reliably compute such occultations. Even a deviation of
	0.5 arc-seconds is too much here.}

Version 0.15.0 is pretty old at this point, and other parts of the guide suggest that occultations can be computed. Is this footnote still valid?

By algorithmic care Stellarium really has become much better since then. But TBH, we simply don't know. Take your telescope, find software that was developed for the topic, and please help us clarifying! A thorough test would be welcome. Of course you need to use up-to-date orbital elements of any minor bodies.

What has not been solved is the "disco-ball" geometry of the Moon which, although finely, is still tessellated, making the perimeter deviate from a perfect circle. Also effects of the Lunar edge profile are not modelled.

Hello @moble!

Thank you for suggesting this enhancement.
