Jvinniec / CppEphem

CppEphem is a self-contained ephemeris package written in C++. It allows computation of celestial coordinate and date conversions and planet ephemerides by leveraging the Standards of Fundamental Astronomy (SOFA) software (included in the repo). It is C++11 compatible.

Ecliptic coordinates are missing #18

Closed Jvinniec closed 5 years ago

Ecliptic coordinates should be added. These are supported by the following SOFA methods:

If adding ecliptic coordinates, it might also be necessary to add executables for the various coordinate conversions. This means an extra 7 executables. This is too much. It may be necessary to consolidate the coordinate conversions into a single script for each system. This would reduce the current list from 12 -> 4 and the potential number of executables after implementing ecliptic coordinates from 19 -> 5.

I think this is the preferred way to go. Please reply here if you feel strongly either way.
