Notes ----- The refraction model is based on that implemented in ERFA, which is fast but becomes inaccurate for altitudes below about 5 degrees. Near and below altitudes of 0, it can even give meaningless answers, and in this case transforming to AltAz and back to another frame can give highly discrepant results. For much better numerical stability, leave the ``pressure`` at ``0`` (the default), thereby disabling the refraction correction and yielding "topocentric" horizontal coordinates.
