SUBROUTINE sla_ALTAZ (HA, DEC, PHI,

*
*  Positions, velocities and accelerations for an altazimuth
*  telescope mount.
*
*  (double precision)
*
*  Given:
*     HA      d     hour angle
*     DEC     d     declination
*     PHI     d     observatory latitude
*
*  Returned:
*     AZ      d     azimuth
*     AZD     d        "    velocity
*     AZDD    d        "    acceleration
*     EL      d     elevation
*     ELD     d         "     velocity
*     ELDD    d         "     acceleration
*     PA      d     parallactic angle
*     PAD     d         "      "   velocity
*     PADD    d         "      "   acceleration
*
*  Notes:
*
*  1)  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:
*
*        angles * 360/2pi -> degrees
*        velocities * (2pi/86400)*(360/2pi) -> degree/sec
*        accelerations * ((2pi/86400)**2)*(360/2pi) -> degree/sec/sec
*
*      Note that the seconds here are sidereal rather than SI.  One
*      sidereal second is about 0.99727 SI seconds.
*
*      The velocity and acceleration factors assume the sidereal
*      tracking case.  Their respective numerical values are (exactly)
*      1/240 and (approximately) 1/3300236.9.
*
*  2)  Azimuth is returned in the range 0-2pi;  north is zero,
*      and east is +pi/2.  Elevation and parallactic angle are
*      returned in the range +/-pi/2.  Position angle is +ve
*      for a star west of the meridian and is the angle NP-star-zenith.
*
*  3)  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.
*
*  4)  No range checking of arguments is carried out.
*
*  5)  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.
