How do you find Right Ascension and Declination from basic Keplerian data?
 

Discussion

Astronomy news on Phys.org
Can you elaborate on "basic Keplerian data."? What is the data measured in?
 
Semimajor Axis, Inclination, Eccentricity, Longitude of the Ascending Node, Longitude of Periapsis and Mean Longitude from them find Mean Anomaly, Eccentric Anomaly, True Anomaly and Radius. From all of these I want to find the RA and DEC.
