Hello All,
Noobie question. I am using Meeus' Astronomical Algorithims to creat a spreadsheet to transform coordinates. I had no problem with precession, nutation, aberration, etc. But, I don't have as good a math background for Motion in Space.
I can follow down to the final formulas for x', y' z'.
I researched further and found Meeus' source in the Sky Catalogue 2000.0 and that really didn't help me either.
I just don't have the math background.
Can anyone expound on what I do AFTER I solve for x', y' and z'?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Scott
P.S. I added a zip of a bmp of the relevant page in the Sky Catalogue.
In any explanation, please keep my genetic deficit in mathematics in mind.
