                 Tan f1 = 0.0046686    Tan f2 = 0.0046454

At time t1 (decimal hours), each Besselian element is evaluated by:

            a = a0 + a1*t + a2*t2 + a3*t3    (or a = Σ [an*tn]; n = 0 to 3)

    where:  a = x, y, d, l1, l2, or μ
            t = t1 - t0  (decimal hours) and t0 = 21.000


The Besselian elements were derived from a least-squares fit to elements
calculated at five uniformly spaced times over a six hour period centered at t0.
The Besselian elements are valid over the period 18.00 ≤ t0 ≤ 24.00 TDT.

Note that all times are expressed in Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TDT).
