11** Quick apparent to observed place (but see note 8, below, for
12** remarks about speed).
13**
14** Given:
15** rap double geocentric apparent right ascension
16** dap double geocentric apparent declination
17** aoprms double[14] star-independent apparent-to-observed parameters:
18**
19** (0) geodetic latitude (radians)
20** (1,2) sine and cosine of geodetic latitude
21** (3) magnitude of diurnal aberration vector
22** (4) height (hm)
23** (5) ambient temperature (t)
24** (6) pressure (p)
25** (7) relative humidity (rh)
26** (8) wavelength (wl)
27** (9) lapse rate (tlr)
28** (10,11) refraction constants A and B (radians)
29** (12) longitude + eqn of equinoxes + sidereal DUT (radians)
30** (13) local apparent sidereal time (radians)
31**
32** Returned:
33** *aob double observed azimuth (radians: N=0,E=90)
34** *zob double observed zenith distance (radians)
35** *hob double observed hour angle (radians)
36** *dob double observed declination (radians)
37** *rob double observed right ascension (radians)

39** Notes:
40**
41** 1) This routine returns zenith distance rather than elevation
42** in order to reflect the fact that no allowance is made for
43** depression of the horizon.
44**
45** 2) The accuracy of the result is limited by the corrections for
46** refraction. Providing the meteorological parameters are
47** known accurately and there are no gross local effects, the
48** observed RA,Dec predicted by this routine should be within
49** about 0.1 arcsec for a zenith distance of less than 70 degrees.
50** Even at a topocentric zenith distance of 90 degrees, the
51** accuracy in elevation should be better than 1 arcmin; useful
52** results are available for a further 3 degrees, beyond which
53** the slaRefro routine returns a fixed value of the refraction.
54** The complementary routines slaAop (or slaAopqk) and slaOap
55** (or slaOapqk) are self-consistent to better than 1 micro-
56** arcsecond all over the celestial sphere.
57**
58** 3) It is advisable to take great care with units, as even
59** unlikely values of the input parameters are accepted and
60** processed in accordance with the models used.
61**
62** 4) "Apparent" place means the geocentric apparent right ascension
63** and declination, which is obtained from a catalogue mean place
64** by allowing for space motion, parallax, precession, nutation,
65** annual aberration, and the Sun's gravitational lens effect. For
66** star positions in the FK5 system (i.e. J2000), these effects can
67** be applied by means of the slaMap etc routines. Starting from
68** other mean place systems, additional transformations will be
69** needed; for example, FK4 (i.e. B1950) mean places would first
70** have to be converted to FK5, which can be done with the
71** slaFk425 etc routines.
72**
73** 5) "Observed" Az,El means the position that would be seen by a
74** perfect theodolite located at the observer. This is obtained
75** from the geocentric apparent RA,Dec by allowing for Earth
76** orientation and diurnal aberration, rotating from equator
77** to horizon coordinates, and then adjusting for refraction.
78** The HA,Dec is obtained by rotating back into equatorial
79** coordinates, using the geodetic latitude corrected for polar
80** motion, and is the position that would be seen by a perfect
81** equatorial located at the observer and with its polar axis
82** aligned to the Earth's axis of rotation (n.b. not to the
83** refracted pole). Finally, the RA is obtained by subtracting
84** the HA from the local apparent ST.
85**
86** 6) To predict the required setting of a real telescope, the
87** observed place produced by this routine would have to be
88** adjusted for the tilt of the azimuth or polar axis of the
89** mounting (with appropriate corrections for mount flexures),
90** for non-perpendicularity between the mounting axes, for the
91** position of the rotator axis and the pointing axis relative
92** to it, for tube flexure, for gear and encoder errors, and
93** finally for encoder zero points. Some telescopes would, of
94** course, exhibit other properties which would need to be
95** accounted for at the appropriate point in the sequence.
96**
97** 7) The star-independent apparent-to-observed-place parameters
98** in aoprms may be computed by means of the slaAoppa routine.
99** If nothing has changed significantly except the time, the
100** slaAoppat routine may be used to perform the requisite
101** partial recomputation of aoprms.
102**
103** 8) At zenith distances beyond about 76 degrees, the need for
104** special care with the corrections for refraction causes a
105** marked increase in execution time. Moreover, the effect
106** gets worse with increasing zenith distance. Adroit
107** programming in the calling application may allow the
108** problem to be reduced. Prepare an alternative aoprms array,
109** computed for zero air-pressure; this will disable the
110** refraction corrections and cause rapid execution. Using
111** this aoprms array, a preliminary call to the present routine
112** will, depending on the application, produce a rough position
113** which may be enough to establish whether the full, slow
114** calculation (using the real aoprms array) is worthwhile.
115** For example, there would be no need for the full calculation
116** if the preliminary call had already established that the
117** source was well below the elevation limits for a particular
118** telescope.
119**
120** 9) The azimuths etc produced by the present routine are with
121** respect to the celestial pole. Corrections to the terrestrial
122** pole can be computed using slaPolmo.
