----------------
obstime : `~astropy.time.Time`
The time at which the observation is taken. Used for determining the
position of the Earth and its precession.
location : `~astropy.coordinates.EarthLocation`
The location on the Earth. This can be specified either as an
`~astropy.coordinates.EarthLocation` object or as anything that can be
transformed to an `~astropy.coordinates.ITRS` frame. The default is the
centre of the Earth.
