Return the current azimuth of a given source.
- Arguments:
-
Source source
- The source of interest.
- Example 1:
- The following example displays the azimuth of mars.
print $azimuth(mars)
An example of the resulting output would be:
LOG: 326:05:11.7270
- Example 2:
- The following example halts script execution until Mars is in the
western hemisphere.
until $azimuth(mars) > 180
- Context:
- The returned azimuths have been corrected for precession and
nutation, but not for atmospheric refraction or tilts in the
telescope axes.
