Hi folks,
Have a query that should be simple were it not for my lack of positional understanding - if I have a location for an object, say a star, in a celestial coordinate system (equatorial coordinates is my partciular interest) - what are the transforms to a geographic system? Obviously with the Earths rotation a single celestial coordinate will correspond to many geographic coordinates unique to a particular, known, position here on Earth - I'm not bothered about calculating during which time the object will be above the horizon.
thanks,
fj
