Bug Description
When downloading the Soft00Bright.txt with orbital elements of Asteroids I found, that the Epoch of the Mean Anomaly is computed in a wrong way. The elements from the MPC usually are give to 0h Terristrical Dynamical Time, that is a Julian Date in the form of 24xxxxxx.5 (.5 at the fractional part of the Number).
The plugin seems to round the Julian Date to 12h TDT (.0 at the fractional part). For instance the bright astroid Vesta is displaced for approximately 1 minute in Right Ascension.
Nevertheless: That's a good tool, thanks to Bogdan Marinov.
