/*

*  Name:
*     palDh2e

*  Purpose:
*     Horizon to equatorial coordinates: Az,El to HA,Dec

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     palDh2e( double az, double el, double phi, double * ha, double * dec );

*  Arguments:
*     az = double (Given)
*        Azimuth (radians)
*     el = double (Given)
*        Elevation (radians)
*     phi = double (Given)
*        Observatory latitude (radians)
*     ha = double * (Returned)
*        Hour angle (radians)
*     dec = double * (Returned)
*        Declination (radians)

*  Description:
*     Convert horizon to equatorial coordinates.

*  Authors:
*     PTW: Pat Wallace (STFC)
*     TIMJ: Tim Jenness (JAC, Hawaii)
*     {enter_new_authors_here}

*  Notes:
*     - All the arguments are angles in radians.
*     - The sign convention for azimuth is north zero, east +pi/2.
*     - HA is returned in the range +/-pi.  Declination is returned
*       in the range +/-pi/2.
*     - The latitude is (in principle) geodetic.  In critical
*       applications, corrections for polar motion should be applied.
*     - In some applications it will be important to specify the
*       correct type of elevation in order to produce the required
*       type of HA,Dec.  In particular, it may be important to
*       distinguish between the elevation as affected by refraction,
*       which will yield the "observed" HA,Dec, and the elevation
*       in vacuo, which will yield the "topocentric" HA,Dec.  If the
*       effects of diurnal aberration can be neglected, the
*       topocentric HA,Dec may be used as an approximation to the
*       "apparent" HA,Dec.
*     - No range checking of arguments is done.
*     - In applications which involve many such calculations, rather
*       than calling the present routine it will be more efficient to
*       use inline code, having previously computed fixed terms such
*       as sine and cosine of latitude.
