Looking at the web page gives

"The main body of the Almanac consists of Ephemerides from which the
Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) of the sun, the declination of the sun and the
GHA of Aries may be determined for any time from the year 2000 to 2050"

and

"Tables for the positions of 39 selected navigational stars, including
Polaris, are given for the year 2000. Annual correction factors are also
given to account for their subsequent apparent motion, so that their
positions may be calculated for any subsequent year."

So it looks as if it does the GHA/dec and quadrennial corrections for the
sun Sun and GHA Aries with SHA/dec and annual corrections for 39 selected
stars, but no planets (and of course no Moon!).

Hope this helps.
