The generator has sub-arcsecond accuracy. The actual results will depend
on the accuracy of the elements, which certainly vary. However, one of
the terms the generator can produce is the statistical position error.
All of this is discussed in the documentation. See especially
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/?horizons_doc#limitations .
