Detailed Description

Class to encapsulate refraction corrections

The standard approximation for atmospheric refraction is:

vac = obs - (A.cot(obs) + B.cot(obs)^3)

where vac is the elevation of the source as would be seen if there were no atmosphere, and obs is the elevation after refraction. Updates of the A and B terms are periodically received from the weather-station and recorded in an object of the following type.
