Andreas,
You have been right. There has been a problem, and I found it.
Both FITLD and CLCOR use the subroutine JPRECS to convert epoch coordinates
to apparent coordinates (in FITLD) and back in CLCOR.
I ran CLCOR with CLCORPRM =1.0e-8. This value is small enough to consider
that recalculation of the coordinates has to return back to the original
epoch coordinates. But I found that CLCOR gives a small difference
with the original epoch coordinates.
I found the reason:
JPRECS has one of the input parameters:
GR: If true correct apparent position for the general
relativistic bending of light by the sun.
Of cource GR has to be identical in FITLD and CLCOR, but it is not true:
FITLD: GR=.FALSE.
CLCOR: GR=.TRUE.
I'll fix it on Monday.
Thank you for pointing out to the problem
Leonia
