The observatory is specified by an identifier as given +in the observatory database. See the help for "observatory" for more +information about the database and identifiers. + +The results can be shown in universal, standard, or siderial time. +The standard time simply adds the time zone from the observatory +database tothe universal time and so there is no explicit facility +for daylight savings time. The times are computed in the range +-24 hours to +48 hours. By setting the \fIwx1\fR and \fIwx2\fR +parameters one can plot either in hours relative to 0 in the specified +time system or as positive hours. This simple task does not support +axis labeling which wraps around. + +The list output prints date, observatory, object coordinates, and +the time system. This is followed by the time sorted between 0 and 24 +and the airmasses. The list only includes airmasses below the +value specified by \fIwy2\fR. +.ih +EXAMPLES +To plot the airmass for M82 from Kitt Peak for Groundhog's Day in 1992: + +.nf + pairmass ra=9:51:42 dec=69:56 epoch=1950 year=1992 month=2 day=2 +.fi + +.ih +SEE ALSO +observatory, airmass, setairmass, graph +.endhelp |
