+As already described, the <I>annual aberration</I>

+The <I>precession/nutation</I>, from J2000 to the current epoch, is

+The whole mean-to-apparent transformation can be done using the SLALIB
+routine
+sla_MAP. As a demonstration, here is a program which lists the

+<P>
+For cases where the transformation has to be repeated for different
+times or for more than one star, the straightforward
+sla_MAP
+approach is apt to be
+wasteful as both the Earth velocity and the
+precession/nutation matrix can be re-calculated relatively
+infrequently without ill effect. A more efficient method is to
+perform the target-independent calculations only when necessary,
+by calling
+sla_MAPPA,
+and then to use either
+sla_MAPQKZ,
+when only the <IMG WIDTH="42" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img3.gif"
+ ALT="$[\,\alpha,\delta\,]$"> is known, or
+sla_MAPQK,
+when full catalogue positions, including proper motion, parallax and
+radial velocity, are available. How frequently to call
+sla_MAPPA
+depends on the accuracy objectives; once per
+night will deliver sub-arcsecond accuracy for example.
+<P>
+The routines
+sla_AMP
+and
+sla_AMPQK
+allow the reverse transformation, from apparent to mean place.
