// Sky Equation encapsulates the equation between the sky brightness
// and the visibility (or coherence) measured by a generic instrument
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis>
// This is responsible for the Sky-based part of Measurement Equation of the Generic
// Interferometer due to Hamaker, Bregman and Sault and later extended
// by Noordam, and Cornwell.
//
// See <linkto module="MeasurementEquations">MeasurementEquations</linkto>
// for more details of the form of the SkyEquation.
//
// The principal use of SkyEquation is that, as described in
// <linkto module="MeasurementEquations">MeasurementEquations</linkto>,
// the gradients of chi-squared may be calculated and returned
// as an image.
//
// The following components can be plugged into SkyEquation
// <ul>
// <li> Antenna-based direction-dependent terms: <linkto class="SkyJones">SkyJones</linkto>
// <li> Sky brightness model: <linkto class="SkyModel">SkyModel</linkto>
// <li> Fourier transform machine: <linkto class="FTMachine">FTMachine</linkto>
// </ul>
