Google Sky feature?
      #1131907 - 03/14/08 10:08 AM

Are there any celestial coordinates, right ascension and declination, available in Google Sky?

If yes, how do I see them?

If no, why not? They make GS much more useful to a backyard astronomer like me.

Hi John, welcome to the GE Community.

If you go to the drop-down menu in Sky, click on "View" and then click on "Status Bar".

You should then see RA and Dec in the bottom left of screen and arcdegrees to the right or screen.

If it doesn't display, make sure that you have the Sky window sized to your screen to ensure that the status bar is displayed.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
