Thank you to all commented.
The Herbert Prinz's article from eleven years ago did clarify it all.
Most interesting was to learn that the plane of Earth's orbit wobbles within ~1 arcsecond of its' mean position (I did not know by how much it does deviate, is it degrees or minuscule fraction of a second), also interesting was to see the time difference between all the relevant events (RA==0°, Dec==0° and Lon==0°).
Warm regards,
Tony
