SuperNOVAS C/C++ astrometry library

SuperNOVAS is a C/C++ astronomy library, providing high-precision astronomical calculations such as one might need for running an observatory or a precise planetarium program. It is a fork of the Naval Observatory Vector Astrometry Software (NOVAS) C version 3.1, providing bug fixes and making it easier to use overall.

The main goals of SuperNOVAS are to improve usability, add new features, promote best practices, and provide accessible documentation -- all while retaining 100% API compatibility with NOVAS C 3.1. Thus, if you have written code for NOVAS C 3.1, you can build it with SuperNOVAS also. SuperNOVAS is entirely free to use without licensing restrictions. Its source code is compatible with the C90 standard, and hence should be suitable for old and new platforms alike. It is light-weight and easy to use, with full support for the IAU 2000/2006 standards for sub-micro-arc-second position.
