+<DT>1.
+<DD>Natural units are used throughout. HA, DEC, PHI, AZ, EL
+and ZD are in radians. The velocities and accelerations
+assume constant declination and constant rate of change of
+ hour angle (as for tracking a star); the units of AZD, ELD
+ and PAD are radians per radian of HA, while the units of AZDD,
+ ELDD and PADD are radians per radian of HA squared. To
+ convert into practical degree- and second-based units:

+<P>
+Note that the seconds here are sidereal rather than SI. One
+ sidereal second is about 0.99727 SI seconds.
+<P>
+The velocity and acceleration factors assume the sidereal
+ tracking case. Their respective numerical values are (exactly)
+ 1/240 and (approximately) 1/3300236.9.
+ <DT>2.
+<DD>Azimuth is returned in the range <IMG WIDTH="50" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img13.gif"
+ ALT="$[\,0,2\pi\,]$">; north is zero,
+ and east is <IMG WIDTH="41" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img14.gif"
+ ALT="$+\pi/2$">. Elevation and parallactic angle are
+ returned in the range <IMG WIDTH="41" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img15.gif"
+ ALT="$\pm\pi/2$">. Position angle is +ve
+ for a star west of the meridian and is the angle NP-star-zenith.
+ <DT>3.
+<DD>The latitude is geodetic as opposed to geocentric. The
+ hour angle and declination are topocentric. Refraction and
+ deficiencies in the telescope mounting are ignored. The
+ purpose of the routine is to give the general form of the
+ quantities. The details of a real telescope could profoundly
+ change the results, especially close to the zenith.
+ <DT>4.
+<DD>No range checking of arguments is carried out.
+ <DT>5.
+<DD>In applications which involve many such calculations, rather
+ than calling the present routine it will be more efficient to
+ use inline code, having previously computed fixed terms such
+ as sine and cosine of latitude, and (for tracking a star)
+ sine and cosine of declination.
