Create skyscapeR.horizon object from Az/Alt data

Description

This function creates a skyscapeR.horizon object from measurements of azimuth and altitude.

Usage

createHor(az, alt, alt.unc = 0.5, loc, name = "", smooth = F, .scale = 1000)

Arguments

alt	Array of altitude values.
alt.unc	(Optional) Either a single value or an array of altitude uncertainty.
loc	Location, a vector containing the latitude, longitude and elevation of the location, in this order.
