Usage: astrocalc [-c] coordflip astrocalc sep astrocalc timeflip astrocalc trans astrocalc now mjd astrocalc dist (z|mpc) [–hc= –wm= –wv=]

Commands: coordflip flip coordinates between decimal degrees and sexegesimal and vice-versa sep calculate the separation between two locations in the sky. timeflip flip time between UT and MJD. trans translate a location across the sky (north and east in arcsec) now report current time in various formats dist convert distance between mpc to z

Variables: ra, ra1, ra2 right-ascension in deciaml degrees or sexegesimal format dec, dec1, dec2 declination in deciaml degrees or sexegesimal format datetime modified julian date (mjd) or universal time (UT). UT can be formated 20150415113334.343 or “20150415 11:33:34.343” (spaces require quotes) north, east vector components in arcsec distVal a distance value in Mpc (-mpc) or redshift (-z) hVal hubble constant value. Default=70 km/s/Mpc OmegaMatter Omega Matter. Default=0.3 OmegaVacuum Omega Vacuum. Default=0.7

Options: -v, –version show version -h, –help show this help message -m, –mpc distance in mpc -z, –redshift redshift distance -c, –cartesian convert to cartesian coordinates -s, –settings the settings file
