I figured out the 0.0057755183 constant.  It is the inverse speed
of light in units of days/AU.  The other constant in the equation
is days/millenium.  So there is now no doubt in my mind that the
existing code takes care of the part of aberration that is due to
the motion of the non-Earth planets and the Jovian moons.
