This is supposedly the final reference frame needed for a full conversion of raw vectors from an ephemeris into the actual location of an object in the sky as an observer on Earth.
Topocentricrepresents the position of a celestial object from a geographic location on Earth. The geographic location is represented by the already existingAstronoby::Observer.As the other reference frames, it supports the state methods
positionandvelocity, thedistancemethod, and the coordinates methodsequatorialandecliptic. But it also supports, and it is the only reference frame to do so, the coordinates methodhorizontalto access theazimuthandaltitudeof the object on the celestial sphere.At the moment, the atmospheric refraction is not supported and
horizontalonly returns the position in a theoretical air-less world. While it is not affecting the azimuth, and has a noticeable effect mainly on objects appearing close to the local horizon, it will be supported soon, to have the true and apparent horizontal coordinates.There might still be some small adjustments to increase even further the precision, but these are supposed to only impact precision on milli-arcseconds. They will, or will not, be implemented later:
