How these dates were found

With Horoskopos's sky search: Chiron's geocentric, apparent, tropical ecliptic longitude, computed with the open-source Astronomy Engine library, with each sign boundary found to the minute. Sample ingresses agree with NASA JPL's Horizons ephemeris to within about two and a half hours. Chiron is computed from orbital elements bundled for 1800–2100, so its dates are limited to that span.
