Gnomonic projection
Functions§
- tpors
- In the tangent plane projection, given the rectangular coordinates of a star and its spherical coordinates, determine the spherical coordinates of the tangent point.
- tporv
- In the tangent plane projection, given the rectangular coordinates of a star and its direction cosines, determine the direction cosines of the tangent point.
- tpsts
- In the tangent plane projection, given the star’s rectangular coordinates and the spherical coordinates of the tangent point, solve for the spherical coordinates of the star.
- tpstv
- In the tangent plane projection, given the star’s rectangular coordinates and the direction cosines of the tangent point, solve for the direction cosines of the star.
- tpxes
- In the tangent plane projection, given celestial spherical coordinates for a star and the tangent point, solve for the star’s rectangular coordinates in the tangent plane.
- tpxev
- In the tangent plane projection, given celestial direction cosines for a star and the tangent point, solve for the star’s rectangular coordinates in the tangent plane.
