Fix asteroid visual magnitude calculation

Thomas Stibor requested to merge tstibor/kstars:visual_mag_asteroid_fix into master

The calculation of visual magnitude for asteroids is not correct. Using Skychart program as a reference one can compare that e.g. asteroid Vesta resulted in KStars (without patch) in value 9.18 mag vs. Skychart 8.26 mag. With the patch the Skychart value matches the one of Skychart +/- amplitude max. This behavior can also be observed for other asteroids.
