How to use NOVAS to get the latitude and longitude of the sun. I tried: make_observer_at_geocenter(& observerLocation); place(julianDate, & celestialObject, observerLocation, -0.26630, 1, 1, & position); latitude = asin(position.r_hat[2]; longitude = asin(position.r

How to use NOVAS to get the latitude and longitude of the sun.

I tried:

make_observer_at_geocenter(& observerLocation);

place(julianDate, & celestialObject, observerLocation, -0.26630, 1, 1, & position);

latitude = asin(position.r_hat[2];
longitude = asin(position.r_hat[1] / cos(latitude));

Thanks,
