To enter coordinates


The user must specify RA in hours and DEC in degrees. 

The format is free: both "dd mm ss.s" and "dd.ddd" are valid formats.


To choose the equinox


The user can select the frequently used equinoxes 
        (i.e. B1900, B1950 or J2000)
from the first two lists ("From" and "To" on the left).



Alternatively she/he can enter different values ("1995") in
the two input fields ("From" and "To" on the right).



Note: the first "From" and "To" are used only
      if the second ones are not empty.
