<para>This module converts from <link linkend="equatorial">Equatorial coordinates</link> to <link linkend="galactic">Galactic coordinates</link>, and vice versa. First, select which coordinates should be taken as input values in the <guilabel>Input Selection</guilabel> section. Then, fill in the corresponding coordinate values in either the <guilabel>Galactic coordinates</guilabel> or <guilabel>Equatorial coordinates</guilabel> section. Finally, press the <guibutton>Compute</guibutton> button, and the complementary coordinates will be filled in. </para>
