/* given the true geocentric ra and dec of an object, the observer's latitude,
* lt, and a horizon displacement correction, dis, all in radians, find the
* local sidereal times and azimuths of rising and setting, lstr/s
* and azr/s, also all in radians, respectively.
* dis is the vertical displacement from the true position of the horizon. it
* is positive if the apparent position is higher than the true position.
* said another way, it is positive if the shift causes the object to spend
* longer above the horizon. for example, atmospheric refraction is typically
* assumed to produce a vertical shift of 34 arc minutes at the horizon; dis
* would then take on the value +9.89e-3 (radians). On the other hand, if
* your horizon has hills such that your apparent horizon is, say, 1 degree
* above sea level, you would allow for this by setting dis to -1.75e-2
* (radians).
*
* This version contributed by Konrad Bernloehr, Nov. 1996
*
* status: 0=normal; 1=never rises; -1=circumpolar.
* In case of non-zero status, all other returned variables are undefined.
