CooC - Coordinate Conversions (version 3.0)

There are five different coordinate systems in astronomy. Some of them have variants, which are all included in this conversion programme. If you are doing this for the first time, please read instructions (via links in the form) before you begin.

To make your conversion, please fill in appropriate information below - both INPUT and OUTPUT parameters of coordinate systems you are interested in. If you need output coordinates in several systems, make sure to fill in all required values. Naturally you can only select one INPUT coordinate system.

In order to serve astronomical community and general public the best I wish everybody informs me of all malfunctions of this conversion system, erroneous results, inaccuracies, and other oddities encountered while making or trying to make a coordinate conversion. Thank you!
