+//! Horizontal Coordinates Example
+//!
+//! Demonstrates equatorial ↔ horizontal transforms for spherical and cartesian
+//! directions and positions, with round-trip checks.
+//!
+//! Positions use **mean-of-date + GMST** via [`.transform(jd)`]. Directions use
+//! **true-of-date + GAST** via [`.to_horizontal`] / [`.to_equatorial`] (observer
+//! site passed explicitly). See `doc/frames_and_centers.md` for frame details.
+//!
+//! Run with: `cargo run --example 19_horizontal_coordinates`
