Stellarium API: core.moveToAltAzi

core.moveToAltAzi looks at a pair of coordinates that are specified in the horizontal coordinate system (aka topocentric coordinate system).

Because core.moveToAltAzi is based on horizon of location of the observer, the same pair of coordinates does not look into the same direction on two different places.

Example

//  vim: ft=javascript
//
//  ..\..\runScript.bat moveToAltAzi.ssc
//


// Go to Irchelturm
core.setObserverLocation(
   8 + 36/60 + 25.85/60/60, // longitude
  47 + 32/60 + 21.48/60/60, // latitude
   0                      , // Altitude
   0                        // Duration
);


core.setDeltaTAlgorithm('WithoutCorrection');

core.setDate(
  '2014-01-04T05:15:00',
  'local'              , // or 'utc'
   true                  // enable Delta T correction
);


// Why is this even necessary?
//    2020-09-23 / Version 0.20 (not necessary anymore?)
// core.wait(0.01);

// Stop time
core.setTimeRate(0.0);

core.moveToAltAzi(
          //
          // Look at Saturn.
          // The planet is
    11.1, //    Approx 11 degrees above the horizon, and
   128.0, //    almost in South-East.
     0.0  // Don't loose time, move immediatly.
);
