SCULIB_APPARENT_2_MP - Calculate mean place from a given apparent RA,Dec

Description:

This routine takes the apparent RA,Dec as input and converts them to the position in a specified output coordinate system. Allowed OUTPUT_COORDS are AZ, RJ, RB, GA, EQ. This is the reverse of SCULIB_CALC_APPARENT

Invocation:

CALL SCULIB_APPARENT_2_MP(RA_APP, DEC_APP, OUT_COORDS, LST, MJD, LAT_OBS, LONG, LAT, STATUS )

Arguments:

RA_APP = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)

Apparent RA of point at date (radians)

DEC_APP = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)

Apparent Dec

OUT_COORDS = CHARACTER $*$ ($*$) (Given)

LST = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)

LST for requested coordinates (for AZ and HA)

MJD = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)

Modified Julian date of observation

LAT_OBS = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)

Latitude of observatory in radians. For JCMT this value is 3.46026051751D-1

LONG = DOUBLE PRECISION (Returned)

longitude of centre in input coord system (radians)

LAT = DOUBLE PRECISION (Returned)

latitude of centre in input coord system (radians)

STATUS = INTEGER (Given and returned)

Global status
