def positionMaxError(G, vmini, extension=0.0):
  """
  Calculate the maximum position errors from G and (V-I). These correspond to the sky regions with the
  largest astrometric errors.

  NOTE! THE ERRORS ARE FOR SKY POSITIONS IN THE ICRS (I.E., RIGHT ASCENSION, DECLINATION). MAKE SURE YOUR
  SIMULATED ASTROMETRY IS ALSO ON THE ICRS.

  Parameters
  ----------

  G     - Value(s) of G-band magnitude.
  vmini - Value(s) of (V-I) colour.

  Keywords
  --------

  extension - Add this amount of years to the mission lifetime and scale the errors accordingly.

  Returns
  -------

  The maximum error in alpha* and the error in delta, in that order, in micro-arcsecond.
