<para>This module converts between <link linkend="equatorial">Equatorial coordinates</link> and <link linkend="ecliptic">Ecliptic coordinates</link>. First, select which coordinates should be taken as input values in the <guilabel>Choose Input Coordinates</guilabel> section. Then, fill in the corresponding coordinate values in either the <guilabel>Ecliptic coordinates</guilabel> or <guilabel>Equatorial coordinates</guilabel> section. Finally, press the <guibutton>Compute</guibutton> button, and the complementary coordinates will be filled in. </para>

<para>The module contains a batch mode for converting several coordinate pairs at once. You must construct an input file in which each line contains two values: the input coordinate pairs (either Equatorial or Ecliptic). Then specify which coordinates you are using as input, and identify the input and output filenames. Finally, press the <guibutton>Run</guibutton> button to generate the output file, which will contain the converted coordinates (Equatorial or Ecliptic; the complement of what you chose as the input values). </para>
