Currently, nextfield.py calculates the local apparent sidereal time which is valid for the the current epoch (i.e. JNow), but the RA and Dec of tiles is in J2000. This will affect the determination of which tiles are within 1 hr of right ascension of the meridian, and also the calculation of their altitude.

Proposed change/fix:

  1. Transform tile coordinates to JNow (internally only). Results dictionary will still return the RA and Dec in J2000.
