fun rotationEqjHor(time: Time, observer: Observer): RotationMatrix
Calculates a rotation matrix from J2000 mean equator (EQJ) to horizontal (HOR).
This is one of the family of functions that returns a rotation matrix for converting from one orientation to another. Source: EQJ = equatorial system, using the equator at the J2000 epoch. Target: HOR = horizontal system.
A rotation matrix that converts EQJ to HOR at time and for observer. The components of the horizontal vector are: x = north, y = west, z = zenith (straight up from the observer). These components are chosen so that the "right-hand rule" works for the vector and so that north represents the direction where azimuth = 0.
| time | The date and time of the observation. |
| observer | A location near the Earth's mean sea level that defines the observer's horizon. |
