Official EPSG transformation from SHGD2015 to Astro DOS 71

The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 1 transformation between SHGD2015 (EPSG:7886) and Astro DOS 71 (EPSG:4710). Its parameters, accuracy and area of use are listed below.

SHGD2015 to Astro DOS 71 (2)

EPSG:9226±0.1 m

Method:: Position Vector transformation (geog2D domain)
Area of use:: St Helena - St Helena Island
Scope:: Transformation of coordinates at 0.1m level of accuracy.

Parameter	Value	Unit
X-axis translation(tx)	112.771	metre
Y-axis translation(ty)	-12.282	metre
Z-axis translation(tz)	18.935	metre
X-axis rotation(rx)	-2.1692	arc-second
Y-axis rotation(ry)	-16.8896	arc-second
Z-axis rotation(rz)	-17.1961	arc-second
Scale difference(ds)	19.54517	parts per million

Derived at 19 stations, RMS = 6cm. Note: Because of the large rotations about the Y- and Z-axes this transformation is not reversible. For the reverse transformation use Astro DOS 71 to SHGD2015 (2) (code 7895).

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting SHGD2015 to Astro DOS 71?: The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±0.1 m within its stated area of use. Browser-based converters approximate datum shifts with Helmert parameters; for surveying-grade work apply the official transformation in a desktop GIS.
Does my data leave the browser when I use this converter?: No. All coordinate transformations are computed locally in your browser using proj4js. The coordinates you enter are never transmitted to any server.
