[daip] array simulations

[Leonia Kogan]

Joe,

As I see GEOPOS.FOR converts antenna positions from lat,long.elev
coordinate system to the equatorial coordinate system (Z toward the 
north pole). This is very simple.

Antenna position given at any coordinate system tied with the Earth is 
recalculated at UVCON into the celestial coordinate system taking into 
account the Earth rotation around its axis and around the SUN through 
GST. Something similar should be done for the case of the array located 
at the Moon. My opinion that such an option should be done at the 
private version of UVCON, but I'd like to discuss it at the AIPS meeting 
this Wednesday. Tell me please what is it for.
