  2. Right ascension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_ascension

    Right ascension is measured eastward up to 24 h along the celestial equator from the primary direction. Right ascension (abbreviated RA; symbol α) is the angular distance of a particular point measured eastward along the celestial equator from the Sun at the March equinox to the (hour circle of the) point in question above the Earth.

  3. Setting circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setting_circles

    Many Right Ascension setting circles therefore carry two sets of numbers, one showing the value if the telescope is aligned in the northern hemisphere, the other for the southern. Even with some inaccuracies in polar alignment or the perpendicularity of the mount, setting circles can be used to roughly get to a desired object's coordinates ...

  9. Earth-centered inertial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-centered_inertial

    The location of an object in space can be defined in terms of right ascension and declination which are measured from the vernal equinox and the celestial equator. Right ascension and declination are spherical coordinates analogous to longitude and latitude , respectively.
