Just like we write terrestrial Longitude and Latitude in degrees, minutes and seconds, we can also write something like:
At 3:00am on Saturday morning, Saturn will be at an Altitude of 47 degrees 20 minutes 10 seconds, or in shorthand:
Saturn will be 47° 20’ 10” above the horizon.
Tomorrow, we can look at arcsecs and seeing.
Cheers
Dennis
