By the way, as I work on this issue, I want to double-check our results. I am getting 4.7 arcseconds of difference here in the separation, not the 23 that you got. Could you share your code? I got "0:00:04.7" by adjusting the last few lines to this code:

s1 = ephem.separatio n((az1, alt1), (az2, alt2)).real n((ra1, dec1), (ra2, dec2)).real
s2 = ephem.separatio
print ephem.degrees(s2 - s1)
