it says
--
of a sin-projection image. Use IMXY to give you RA and Dec and then
compute the shifts as:
SHIFT(1) = cos (Dec_0) * (RA - RA_0)
SHIFT(2) = Dec - Dec_0
in arc seconds. The _0 refers to the reference coordinate.
--
which is correct if one doesn't forget to multiply shift(1) or RA and
RA_0 by 15 ["/s], though I think most people will forget; maybe it
should be added as a reminder.. Anyway
