 An example - To calculate the atmospheric refraction we set up a `refraction()` object. This requires the latitude and altitude of the observer. The atmospheric dispersion is calculated similarly, but by exchanging the `refraction()` object by a `dispersion()` object and parsing two refractive indices into the `cassini()` function.

It can be called directly using `sla_refro()`. When using the same units as the other refraction functions, you might prefer using `slalib_refraction()` or `slalib_dispersion()`.

Do note that this implementation is slower than the (compiled) FORTRAN implementation.
 
 Finally, the dispersion model used by Alexei Filippenko in 1982 is also included. This model is a combination of the (modified) Edlèn equation and a plane-parallel atmospheric geometry. This calculation can be accessed by calling the `Filippenko1982()` function.
