SET OBSERVATORY

            LAS\SET OBSERVATORY *
            LAS\SET OBSERVATORY Name
            LAS\SET OBSERVATORY Name Longitude Latitude Altitude

        If OBSERVATORY is *, Class will guess the observatory from the telescope
        name (R%HEAD%GEN%TELES). This is the default.

        If  an observatory name known by GILDAS/Astro is provided as first argu-
        ment, Class will use the known longitude, latitude and  altitude  values
        independently of the telescope name.

        If an observatory name is provided with its explicit longitude, latitude
        (both sexagesimal strings) and altitude (in kilometers), Class will  use
        those values independently of the telescope name.

        The  two  last syntaxes are useful for R%HEAD%GEN%TELES strings encoding
        observatories unknown by Class.
