 * @class GSkyDir
 *
 * @brief Sky direction class
 *
 * This class implements a spherical coordinate on the sky. Two coordinate
 * systems are supported: celestial (or equatorial), defined by Right
 * Ascension and Declination, and Galactic, defined by galactic longitude
 * and galactic latitude. The class provides automatic conversion between
 * both systems if required. Coordinates are stored in either of the
 * systems (in units of radians), and conversion is performed (and stored)
 * if requested. Coordinates can be given and returned in radians or in
 * degrees. Note that the epoch for celestial coordinates is fixed to J2000.
