Sexagesimal and radian to degree conversion

itemprop="discussionURL"0

A. If you want to convert sexagesimal numbers (RA=hh:mm:ss.s Dec=±dd:mm:ss) to degrees then use these relations: RA>deg: 15 x (hh + mm/60 + ss.s/3600) Dec>deg: ±dd ± (mm/60 + ss/3600) These relations are pretty easy to remember since > 1 hour the sky rotates 15 degrees (360degrees in 24 hours) …
