8**
9** Horizon to equatorial coordinates: Az,El to HA,Dec
10**
11** (single precision)
12**
13** Given:
14** az float azimuth
15** el float elevation
16** phi float observatory latitude
17**
18** Returned:
19** *ha float hour angle
20** *dec float declination
21**
22** Notes:
23**
24** 1) All the arguments are angles in radians.
25**
26** 2) The sign convention for azimuth is north zero, east +pi/2.
27**
28** 3) HA is returned in the range +/-pi. Declination is returned
29** in the range +/-pi/2.
30**
31** 4) The latitude is (in principle) geodetic. In critical
32** applications, corrections for polar motion should be applied.
33**
34** 5) In some applications it will be important to specify the
35** correct type of elevation in order to produce the required
36** type of HA,Dec. In particular, it may be important to
37** distinguish between the elevation as affected by refraction,
38** which will yield the "observed" HA,Dec, and the elevation
39** in vacuo, which will yield the "topocentric" HA,Dec. If the
40** effects of diurnal aberration can be neglected, the
41** topocentric HA,Dec may be used as an approximation to the
42** "apparent" HA,Dec.
43**
44** 6) No range checking of arguments is done.
45**
46** 7) In applications which involve many such calculations, rather
47** than calling the present routine it will be more efficient to
48** use inline code, having previously computed fixed terms such
49** as sine and cosine of latitude.
