+>The Apparent Coordinates module converts the <firstterm
+>catalogue coordinates</firstterm
+> of a point in the sky to its <firstterm
+>apparent coordinates</firstterm
+> for any date. The coordinates of objects in the sky are not fixed, because of <link linkend="ai-precession"
+>precession</link
+>, nutation and aberration. This module takes these effects into account. </para>
+<para
+>To use the module, first enter the desired target date and time in the <guilabel
+>Target Time/Date</guilabel
+> section. Then, enter the catalogue coordinates in the <guilabel
+>Catalog Coordinates</guilabel
+> section. You can also specify the catalogue's epoch here (usually 2000.0 for modern object catalogues). Finally, press the <guibutton
+>Compute</guibutton
+> button, and the object's coordinates for the target date will be displayed in the <guilabel
+>Apparent Coordinates</guilabel
+> section. </para>
