JdTt  Double
TT Julian date for virtual place.
Star  CatEntry3
catalog entry structure containing catalog data for the object in the ICRS
Accuracy  Accuracy
Code specifying the relative accuracy of the output position.
Ra  Double
Virtual right ascension in hours, referred to the GCRS.
Dec  Double
Virtual declination in degrees, referred to the GCRS.

Return Value

Int16
            =  0 ... Everything OK.
            > 10 ... Error code from function 'MakeObject'.
