Detailed Description

The sky6Utils object.

The Utils object gives access to commonly used astronomy related routines and conversions. The routines include the ability to compute the position angle and angular separation between to objects, the hour angle, air-mass, refraction and rise transit set times of an object, the local sidereal time, universal time, Julian date of TheSky as well as the ability to precess coordinates to and from epoch 2000.

The conversions include the ability to convert a string to a double and vise versa for both equatorial coordinates (right ascension/declination) and horizon coordinates (azimuth/altitude), the ability to convert between equatorial and horizon coordinates and vise versa, convert a calendar day (year, month, day, hour, minute, second) to a Julian date and vise-versa as well as the ability to format most any "sexagesimal" to a string with a wide variety of formats.
