Hi Jim,

Substitute "latitude" for "declination", and "longitude" for "RA (right ascension)". Not exactly the same thing, but gives you the idea. Alternatively "up and down (North/South)" for "declination", and "sideways (East/West)" for RA...

Next time you are in Adelaide you can sit in my planetarium dome and I will show you!
