Resulting RA Dec of object
These are the sky coordinates of the object (e.g., asteroid). These
coordinates were the goal of the astrometric calculation. The
coordinates are in the system you used for the sky coordinates of your
catalog stars (e.g., 2000 coordinates).
There may be many more digits in the decimal value of the seconds of RA
or arcseconds of Dec than are warranted by the input values of RA and
Dec of the catalog stars, or the uncertainty in the final RA and Dec of
the object.
