Description

14       skycoor  converts  coordinates  between  the J2000, B1950, and galactic
15       coordinate systems, rounding to a specified number  of  decimal  places
16       and  printing  in  degrees or hh:mm:ss.sss dd:mm:ss.sss.  Input coordi‐
17       nates may also be in either format, and the system  (J2000,  B1950,  or
18       galactic)  may be in upper or lower case.  No spaces are allowed within
19       the individual coordinates
