This module converts from <link linkend="equatorial">Equatorial 
coordinates</link> to <link linkend="galactic">Galactic 
coordinates</link>, and vice versa.  Fill in the  
coordinate values in either the <guilabel>Galactic 
coordinates</guilabel> or <guilabel>Equatorial coordinates</guilabel>
section.  Alternatively set the equatorial coordinates by selecting an 
object using the <guilabel>Find Object</guilabel> dialog. 
Then the complementary coordinates will be filled in.
