skycoord_to_lmn
(pos: astropy.coordinates.sky_coordinate.SkyCoord, phasecentre: astropy.coordinates.sky_coordinate.SkyCoord)[source]¶ Convert astropy sky coordinates into the l,m,n coordinate system relative to a phase centre.
The l,m,n is a RHS coordinate system with * its origin on the sky sphere * m,n and the celestial north on the same plane * l,m a tangential plane of the sky sphere
Note that this means that l increases east-wards
