Data Used On Animated Maps

All Data in this map is represented in right ascension and declination. When these points were plotted, they were converted to decimal degree useing the following equation (there are 15^o in an hour):

(Second/3600 + Minutes/60 + Hours) * 15 = decimal degrees

In addition, the following were used as referance lines:
            Right Ascension = longitude
            Declination = latitude
            Vernal Equinox = Prime Meridian
            Celestial Equator = Equator (North and South the same as on land)
