The Andromeda Galaxy


^A Very Bright Star 3 Fists straight down from the (pointing Star of Cygnus) high in the South W easy to see with eyes used a Pointer/finder Star.

The Stars name is Altair in Aquila

Back up at a 45 Degree Angle to the Golden Reddish Star.

A little faint, takes a moment to see it.

The Stars name is Enif in Pegasus.

When you learn this Star,you find M15 next to it.

that you don't use anymore...Now, to make it easy...mark a telephone pole or tree or house top marking  your NORTH & SOUTH

Knowing your N marked telephone Pole...you kind of know where S is, 45 Degree angle back through you.

Ok here we go...hold your arm out in front of you

and make a Fist ( thumb to the side) level with the Horizon,say South,

The top of your fist is 10 Degrees up from the Horizon

Bring your fist up one more fist is... 20 Degrees

Keep going and you will reach the Zenith very top of the Sky

at 100 degrees.

This up and down measurement is Declination.


Right Ascension Measurement :

Hold your arm out in front of you making a fist > only this time

turn fist so your thumb points to the ground.

Now move your fist to the right one fist...this is 10 degrees to the right of SOUTH or NORTH, EAST or WEST

So here here we go...putting it all together

I say to you  "Hay! Floyd the Barber 259!"


"Hold arm & fist out due  SOUTH, turn fist (thumb down)

and go to the right 20 degrees,then turn fist (thumb to the side)

and go up from there...40 degrees...there is Jupiter!"


Coool and easy it's  S 30x40!     (6:30PM)


"And now hold on...282 just found something!

I'll get back to you what he found! And  where!"

Hovercraft just saw another UFO!

And 941 just saw... ... ...Oh Man!!!

We can tell each other...on the Radio... where anything is up in the Cosmos.

Using Right Ascension & Declination.

A planet, Comet, Galaxies.
