<DT><STRONG>NOTES:</STRONG>
<DD><DL COMPACT>
<DT>1.
<DD>``Mean'' longitude and latitude are the (fixed) values for the
site's location with respect to the IERS terrestrial reference
frame;  the latitude is geodetic.  TAKE CARE WITH THE LONGITUDE
      SIGN CONVENTION.  The longitudes used by the present routine
      are east-positive, in accordance with geographical convention
      (and right-handed).  In particular, note that the longitudes
      returned by the sla_OBS routine are west-positive, following
      astronomical usage, and must be reversed in sign before use in
      the present routine.
<DT>2.
<DD>XP and YP are the (changing) coordinates of the Celestial
      Ephemeris Pole with respect to the IERS Reference Pole.
      XP is positive along the meridian at longitude <IMG WIDTH="18" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img1.gif"
 ALT="$0^{\circ}$">,      and YP is positive along the meridian at longitude
      <IMG WIDTH="34" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img139.gif"
 ALT="$270^\circ$"> (<I>i.e.</I> <IMG WIDTH="26" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img22.gif"
 ALT="$90^{\circ}$"> west).  Values for XP,YP can
      be obtained from IERS circulars and equivalent publications;
      the maximum amplitude observed so far is about 
      <IMG WIDTH="23" HEIGHT="18" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img32.gif"
 ALT="$0\hspace{-0.05em}^{'\hspace{-0.1em}'}\hspace{-0.4em}.3$">   .
<DT>3.
<DD>``True'' longitude and latitude are the (moving) values for
      the site's location with respect to the celestial ephemeris
      pole and the meridian which corresponds to the Greenwich
      apparent sidereal time.  The true longitude and latitude
      link the terrestrial coordinates with the standard celestial
      models (for precession, nutation, sidereal time <I>etc</I>).
<DT>4.
<DD>The azimuths produced by sla_AOP and sla_AOPQK are with
      respect to due north as defined by the Celestial Ephemeris
      Pole, and can therefore be called ``celestial azimuths''.
      However, a telescope fixed to the Earth measures azimuth
      essentially with respect to due north as defined by the
      IERS Reference Pole, and can therefore be called ``terrestrial
      azimuth''.  Uncorrected, this would manifest itself as a
      changing ``azimuth zero-point error''.  The value DAZ is the
      correction to be added to a celestial azimuth to produce
      a terrestrial azimuth.
<DT>5.
<DD>The present routine is rigorous.  For most practical
      purposes, the following simplified formulae provide an
      adequate approximation: <BR>
