[QUOTE="Janus, post: 6028166, member: 4"] Here's the relationship between the Celestial Equator, Galactic Equator, and Ecliptic. [ATTACH=full]228176[/ATTACH] The white grid are celestial coordinates and the light blue grid galactic coordinates. Note that the Galactic Center is ~29 degrees South of the Celestial equator. This means that it is visible in the entire Southern Hemisphere and not visible for points above ~61 degrees North Latitude. The ecliptic crosses the Galactic equator ~6.5 degrees from the Galactic center and the Celestial equator crosses the galactic equator 33 degrees from the galactic center along the galactic equator.
