Brandon Rhodes 139b2ea2f1 Revert "Astronomical Almanac 2020 Pluto elements (#2 #22)"
This reverts commit 26e5d1abc3.  It broke
Pluto’s motion, which users noticed as a big jump at the dates where we
switch from the short-term solution to these long-term orbital elements.
(Reported to the mailing list on groups.io: thank you, Maxime Gommeaux!)

Brandon Rhodes 06729a304a Make INSTALL step 3b.3 more explicit
Following a report of user confusion on the mailing list, let’s switch
up 3b.3 so that instead of saying “do the same as step 3a.3 but...” it
instead copies in the instructions of 3a.3 and adjusts them to match.

pidloop 23fa71ba9f Add telescope eod j2000 option (#48)
* Increase precision of telescope conversion constants.
* Add option to allow telescope to use either astrometric, J2000, or
  apparent coordinates at current epoch.

This work began from a request for a new feature from a user in South
Africa. We worked together both on the requirements and testing after I
sent him these changed files. I also tested against my telescope
simulator and both of us agreed these changes work well.

Along the way we discovered one tiny source of error was in these two
values used for the conversion of dec in degrees and RA in hours to
radians, so I computed them to insane accuracy and pasted them in. Now
that particular limitation will never appear again :-)
