what is super cosmos?
Answers
Answer:
RA is the astronomical equivalent of longitude, and ranges from 0 hours to 24 hours. RA is further subdivided into minutes and seconds, so that an RA of 01 20 45 equates to 1 hour, 20 minutes and 45 seconds.
Dec is the astronomical equivalent of latitude, and ranges from -90 to + 90 degrees. Again Dec is further subdivided into minutes and seconds, so that a Dec of -17 20 45 equates to -17 degrees, 20 minutes and 45 seconds.
Enter the RA and Dec together in the box provided on the form i.e as
01 20 45 -17 20 45
Currently the whole of the southern sky in UKST B and R is available on line, you should get images returned if you select either of these surveys and input RAs between 0-24 hours and Decs between -90 and +2.5.
