Description: astrocalc 
        =========================
        
        *An astronomer's calculator used to perform common calculations, conversions and measurements.*.
        
        Usage
        ======
        
        .. code-block:: bash 
           
            astrocalc [-c] coordflip <ra> <dec>
            astrocalc sep <ra1> <dec1> <ra2> <dec2>
            astrocalc timeflip <datetime>
            astrocalc trans <ra> <dec> <north> <east>
            astrocalc now mjd
            astrocalc dist (-z | -m) <distVal> [--hc=hVal --wm=OmegaMatter --wv=OmegaVacuum]
        
        
            COMMANDS:
            ========
                coordflip             flip coordinates between decimal degrees and sexegesimal and vice-versa
                sep                   calculate the separation between two locations in the sky.
                timeflip              flip time between UT and MJD.
                trans                 translate a location across the sky (north and east in arcsec)
                now                   report current time in various formats
                dist                  convert distance between mpc to z
        
            VARIABLES:
            ==========
                ra, ra1, ra2          right-ascension in deciaml degrees or sexegesimal format
                dec, dec1, dec2       declination in deciaml degrees or sexegesimal format
                datetime              modified julian date (mjd) or universal time (UT). UT can be formated 20150415113334.343 or "20150415 11:33:34.343" (spaces require quotes)
                north, east           vector components in arcsec
                distVal               a distance value in Mpc (-mpc) or redshift (-z)
                hVal                  hubble constant value. Default=70 km/s/Mpc
                OmegaMatter           Omega Matter. Default=0.3
                OmegaVacuum           Omega Vacuum. Default=0.7
        
            -h, --help            show this help message
            -m, --mpc             distance in mpc
            -z, --redshift        redshift distance
            -c, --cartesian       convert to cartesian coordinates
            
        Documentation
        =============
        
        Documentation for astrocalc is hosted by `Read the Docs <http://astrocalc.readthedocs.org/en/stable/>`__ (last `stable version <http://astrocalc.readthedocs.org/en/stable/>`__ and `latest version <http://astrocalc.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`__).
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        The easiest way to install astrocalc us to use ``pip``:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            pip install astrocalc
        
        Or you can clone the `github repo <https://github.com/thespacedoctor/astrocalc>`__ and install from a local version of the code:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            git clone git@github.com:thespacedoctor/astrocalc.git
            cd astrocalc
            python setup.py install
        
        To upgrade to the latest version of astrocalc use the command:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            pip install astrocalc --upgrade
        
        
        Development
        -----------
        
        If you want to tinker with the code, then install in development mode.
        This means you can modify the code from your cloned repo:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            git clone git@github.com:thespacedoctor/astrocalc.git
            cd astrocalc
            python setup.py develop
