I will add the code for each projection types in my graphic class as different methods; converting it as a global graphic Mon, 05 Mar 2007 23:09:24 GMT Chris Rowland http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Astroprg/message/689 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Astroprg/message/689 I think the best thing is to try them and see which gives the best results.

It is an old Dll dated on 1996 and Fri, 02 Mar 2007 13:57:46 GMT sarmientomon http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Astroprg/message/681 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Astroprg/message/681 You are welcome. Just check for the astro32.dll function "aa_hadec()" (alt/az --> ra/dec) and "hadec_aa()" (ra/dec to alt/az). This should get you going.

This would save me some coding. Thank you for the links also. Marcelo.
