Name

       skycoor - Convert coordinates

Synopsis

       skycoor [-bdgjv] [-n ndec] ra1 dec1 sys1 ... ran decn sysn
       or
       skycoor [-vbjg] [-n ndec] @listfile

Description

       skycoor  converts  coordinates  between the J2000, B1950, and galactic coordinate systems,
       rounding to a specified number of decimal places and printing in degrees  or  hh:mm:ss.sss
       dd:mm:ss.sss.   Input  coordinates  may  also  be in either format, and the system (J2000,
       B1950, or galactic) may be in upper or lower case.  No  spaces  are  allowed  within   the
       individual coordinates

Options

       -b     B1950 (FK4) output

       -d     RA and Dec output in degrees

       -e     Ecliptic longitude and latitude output

       -g     Galactic longitude and latitude output

       -i r|d|
              Input units (r=radians, d=degrees, else hh:mm:sss dd:mm:sss)

       -j     J2000 (FK5) output

       -n <num>
              Number of decimal places in output RA seconds

       -o <num>
              Offset coordinates by this many arcseconds

       -p     RA and Dec proper motion in milliarcseconds/year

       -q     Output system, including equinox

       -r <RA> <Dec> <RA> <Dec>
              Angular separation between two RA, Dec pairs

       -s     Output ra= dec= epoch= radecsys= for sethead

       -v     Print more intermediate information

       -w     Convert RA, Dec equatorial coordinates to x,y,z

       -x     Convert x,y,z equatorial coordinates to RA, Dec

       -y <epoch>
              Epoch of coordinates in years
