Input: RA - Right Ascension in degrees
Dec - Declination in degrees
Latidute - Observer's Latitude (Negative for South) in degrees
Longitude - Observer's Longiture (Negative for West) in degrees
(optional) time - Date vector, as returned from 'clock.m', if not supplied, the current date/time is used.
Output: Altitude - Telescope Altitude in degrees
Azimuth - Telescope Azimuth in degrees
