Convert Equatorial to Galactic Coordinates

Right Ascension (format HHMMSS.SS):
Declination (format -DDMMSS.S):
Initial epoch (format Eyyyy.yy):

Epoch B1950.00 coordinates: 00 00 22.00 + 00 00 22.0

Galactic coordinates: LII= 97.9176 BII=-60.2100

This page uses the STARLINK set of astronomical subroutines. The accuracy is about 0.2 arcseconds. The B in the epoch field refers to the FK4 system (Besselian), J refers to the FK5 (Julian).
