Quick question about negative declinations
I am trying to find the sky position of asteroids so that I can observe them using a telescope.
This site quotes the declination angle in hours and appears to range from 0 to -24. I have never heard of a declination angle more negative than -12 hours. What does this mean? http://scully.cfa.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/mpeph2.cgi |
