Anybody know exactly how Right Ascension and Declination works? I'm doing something for my school and I need a little help on it.

Anybody?

Anybody? I seriously need a bit of help on this one, and I can't find a good explanation on the internet. Even a link to a site would be helpful.:)

Astronomy's neat, ain't it?

Astronomy's also incredibly confusing without the help of a nice computer. ;)
That's the best way... just get your computer to move your telescope to track whatever it is.
