HorizontalCoordinate class

Horizontal coordinate system.

The horizontal coordinate system is a celestial coordinate system that uses the observer's local horizon as the fundamental plane. It is usually used to specify a location in the sky using angles called elevation and azimuth.

This coordinate system is based on the position of the observer on Earth, which revolves around its own axis once per sidereal day (23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.091 seconds) in relation to the star background. The positioning of a celestial object by the horizontal system varies with time, but is a useful coordinate system for locating and tracking objects for observers on Earth. It is based on the position of stars relative to an observer's ideal horizon.
