In AstroCalc (curves - angular diameter vs. time) the angular diameter of Uranus, Neptune (and more?) is calculated wrong. For example, the Uranus diameter is calculated to 12-14" what is higher than expected.

Why you think that data is wrong? This tool includes rings size into account.

Ring size for Saturn might make sense, but not for Uranus or Neptune.
