Where Can I Find the RA and Dec of the V1 Star?

[Curious Kid]

So basically I have to find out star locations for a school project and one of the stars is called V1. So I looked up the name and found this link(https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/science/star-v1.html) but no location. I can't tell if I'm just stupid or missed or something, but i have gone to 10 different websites and could not find the RA and Dec of the star. Anyone know where I could find it?

Your link says that it is in M31. That is a code for the Andromeda Galaxy.

Edit: Actually, you should read that article. It not only answers your question, but describes the historic important of V1 in measuring the size of the universe.

I know its in M31, but I need RA and Dec for my school project, which it doesn't have

If you wanted to know where I lived and I told you, Doncaster, would you be able to find Doncaster on a map? Would you then know where I lived?

Google: m31 right ascension declination

 

[Bandersnatch]

Since the star is the first variable discovered in M31, its name is M31_V1. You can query for 'M31_V1' in the VSX database:
https://www.aavso.org/vsx/

Or just google the full name.

How accurate do you need RA and Dec?
