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.
