Actually, they have.
The most plausible real-world time travel technique is to create a worm hole through space time. Compared to that, programming the time machine to compensate for the Earth's many motions (the Earth's orbit and rotation is peanuts compared to the Sun's motion through the galaxy, for example) would be child's play.

The number of seconds Raven quotes is 1.11994212963 days, not 1.21.
Also, one of the really buggery problems in time travel, that no fiction has yet to really deal with, is the fact that the Earth is moving through space.
The spot the espressosourus left will be 6,350 miles further along its orbit around the sun and 43.179 degrees out-of-phase because of the Earth's rotation.
The puts it in orbit over Chicago when it returns.
As you can tell, I'm not much of a Raven fan.

Nah you're not factoring in earth's gravity. Should stay right were is was :P Of course I'm no astrophysicist and time travel will always make my brain hurt.
