<para
>This module is similar to the <link linkend="calc-apcoords"
>Apparent Coordinates module</link
>, but it only applies the effect of <link linkend="ai-precession"
>precession</link
>, not of nutation or aberration. </para>
<para
>To use the module, first enter the input coordinates and their epoch in the <guilabel
>Original Coordinates</guilabel
> section. You must also fill in the target epoch in the <guilabel
>Precessed Coordinates</guilabel
> section. Then, press the <guibutton
>Compute</guibutton
> button, and the object's coordinates, precessed to the target Epoch, are presented in the <guilabel
>Precessed Coordinates</guilabel
> section. </para>
