+>This module is similar to the <link linkend="calc-apcoords"
+>Apparent Coordinates module</link
+>, but it only applies the effect of <link linkend="ai-precession"
+>precession</link
+>, not of nutation or aberration. </para>

+>To use the module, first enter the input coordinates and their epoch in the <guilabel
+>Original Coordinates</guilabel
+> section. You must also fill in the target epoch in the <guilabel
+>Precessed Coordinates</guilabel
+> section. Then, press the <guibutton
+>Compute</guibutton
+> button, and the object's coordinates, precessed to the target Epoch, are presented in the <guilabel
+>Precessed Coordinates</guilabel
+> section. </para>
