Yes, Horizons only goes up to 2050 for Neptune. https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/eph_spans.cgi?id=A But try the Neptune barycenter, which goes upto 9999.

Do you have a link? I don't know what I'm looking for.

Sorry, I was busy figuring it out myself. :) You need to use planet command code `8` not `899`. It seems to work ok. I just tested it for 4000 AD. I got slightly confused because the JD of Tp changes, but I guess that's because the orbit is precessing. I don't have a link that explains what to do, apart from the Horizons docs. But I could give you a link that generates the ephemeris. What time step do you want?

# Neptune time of perihelion/ephemeris dates

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-01-22)

Is there a data online for the time of perihelion of Neptune between 2000AD and 3000AD? I need values in Julian Date (JD).

I tried using HORIZONS Web interface, but it won't generate ephemeris for Neptune after a certain calendar date.

Thanks.
