Detailed DescriptionDirectional antennae. Member Function Documentation◆ get_vertical()
Get the counter-clockwise angle from north toward zenith in radians. Any point on the sky is crossed by two great circles: one that passes through celestial north and one that passes through zenith. (These great circles coincide when the source is on the meridian.) If vector N points in the direction of celestial north and vector Z points in the direction of zenith, then the vertical angle is measured counter-clockwise from N to Z. The vertical angle is positive when the source is west of the meridian, and negative for sources in the east. Implements Mount. Reimplemented in KrausType.
