jumping Jupiter #93

Hello,

Looks like there is an issue with the position of Jupiter that starts on 24-Oct-2022. I first noticed it on the overlay used in allsky ( https://github.com/thomasjacquin/allsky ) - Eric suggested changing "interval" from 10 to 1.5 (virtualsky-planets.js). This appeared to work, but jumping resumed when forwarding to mid-Nov. A value of 1.2 seems to work a little better, but still has some jumps around 2-3 Nov-2022. I also tested Jupiters movement on https://virtualsky.lco.global/embed/custom.html . Size set to 1000x700 and used "-" & "+" to decrement or increment days. On 20221024, Jupiter starts jumping around.

@pablo-blake I've only just seen this notification. Did commit b85c499 on 2nd November not address this? I wasn't able to determine exactly what about the very specific number was causing the behaviour.
