Star position
text:
Star position is the apparent angular position of any given star in the sky, which seems fixed onto an arbitrary sphere centered on Earth. The location is defined by a pair of angular coordinates relative to the celestial equator: right ascension (α) and declination (δ). This pair based the equatorial coordinate system. While δ is given in degrees, α is usually given in hour angles. This is due to the observation technique of star transits, which cross the field of view of telescope eyepieces du
