EPHEMERIDES PREDICTION RESULTS
This page shows the results for the ephemerides query for the observatory entered as input. There are several columns. They show:
- The Date and the Hour considered
- The Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (DEC) coordinates
- The estimated V magnitude (Mag) of the object
- The Altitude (Alt) over the horizon of the target at the specific time for the specific location. For negative values the object is unobservable. For geocentric position and for space telescopes the value is meaningless
- The Airmass for the specific time. The Airmass is INF when the object is under the horizon. For geocentric position and space telescope the value is meaningless
- The Sun elevation (Sun elev.) of the target, that means the angle of the Sun above or under the Horizon
- The Solar elongation (SolEl) of the target, that means the angle Sun-observer-target
- The Lunar elongation (LunEl) of the target, that means the angle Moon-observer-target
- The Phase angle, that is the angle Sun-target-observer
- The Galactic Latitude (Glat)
- The Galactic Longitude (Glon)
- The distance Sun-object (R)
- The distance Earth-object (Delta)
- The Apparent motion in RA (corrected by cos(DEC), which means the real motion on sky), and in DEC, in arcsec/min of the object
- The Sky plane error with the long axis (Err1), short axis (Err2) and Position Angle (PA) values
