source: trunk/src/Utils/position_related.cc @ 950

Last change on this file since 950 was 950, checked in by MatthewWhiting, 12 years ago

Fixing a problem with the precision of RA & DEC for high-precision data (eg from VLBA). I needed to change ra & dec to double (rather than float), and have done the same
for most of the other parameters. This will need checking! Also made a few improvements to the decToDMS function. Seems to work now.
