SReduce:

Path: SpacecraftEstimation/StellarAttDet

% Reduction of stellar coordinates to apparent coordinates. 
 Includes corrections for

 - radial velocity of star
 - parallax
 - gravitational light deflection
 - relativistic aberration due to earth and spacecraft velocity
 - Earth precession and nutation
