altaz_to_righthanded_cartesian

ctapipe.coordinates.altaz_to_righthanded_cartesian(alt, az, distance=1.0)

Turns an alt/az coordinate into a 3d direction in a right-handed coordinate system. This is because azimuths are in a left-handed system.

See e.g: astropy/astropy#5300

Parameters:

alt: u.Quantity

altitude

az: u.Quantity

azimuth
