; NAME:
;       OBSERVATORY
; PURPOSE:
;       Return longitude, latitude, altitude & time zones of an observatory
; EXPLANATION:
;       Given an observatory name, returns a structure giving the longitude,
;       latitude, altitude, and time zone 
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;       Observatory, obsname, obs_struct, [ /PRINT ]
;
; INPUTS:
;       obsname - scalar or vector string giving abbreviated name(s) of 
;             observatories for which location or time information is requested.
;             If obsname is an empty string, then information is returned for 
;             all observatories in the database.     See the NOTES: section
;             for the list of 41 recognized observatories.   The case of the 
;             string does not matter  
; OUTPUTS:
;       obs_struct - an IDL structure containing information on  the specified
;                 observatories.   The structure tags are as follows: 
;       .observatory - abbreviated observatory name
;       .name - full observatory name  
;       .longitude - observatory longitude in degrees *west* 
;       .latitude - observatory latitude in degrees
;       .altitude - observatory altitude in meters above sea level
;       .tz - time zone, number of hours *west* of Greenwich
;
; OPTIONAL INPUT KEYWORD:
;     /PRINT - If this keyword is set, (or if only 1 parameter is supplied)
;             then OBSERVATORY will display information about the specified
;             observatories at the terminal
; EXAMPLE:
;     Get the latitude, longitude and altitude of Kitt Peak National Observatory
;
;     IDL> observatory,'kpno',obs
;     IDL> print,obs.longitude  ==> 111.6 degrees west 
;     IDL> print,obs.latitude  ==> +31.9633 degrees
;     IDL> print,obs.altitude  ==> 2120 meters above sea level
;
