What is Altazimuth Coordinate Transformations about?

This document describes the mathematical transformations needed to convert between equatorial coordinates and altazimuth coordinates. It provides the transformation equations, which relate the direction cosines between the two coordinate systems using a rotation matrix. An example calculation is shown to demonstrate converting the equatorial coordinates of Saturn to the corresponding altitude and azimuth.
