Difference between Equatorial coordinate system and Setting circles

Equatorial coordinate system vs. Setting circles

The equatorial coordinate system is a celestial coordinate system widely used to specify the positions of celestial objects. Setting circles are used on telescopes equipped with an equatorial mount to find astronomical objects in the sky by their equatorial coordinates often used in star charts or ephemerides.

Similarities between Equatorial coordinate system and Setting circles

Equatorial coordinate system and Setting circles have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Celestial sphere, Declination, Ephemeris, Equatorial mount, Latitude, Longitude, Right ascension, Sidereal time, Star chart, Telescope.

Celestial sphere

In astronomy and navigation, the celestial sphere is an abstract sphere with an arbitrarily large radius concentric to Earth.

Declination

In astronomy, declination (abbreviated dec; symbol δ) is one of the two angles that locate a point on the celestial sphere in the equatorial coordinate system, the other being hour angle.

Ephemeris

In astronomy and celestial navigation, an ephemeris (plural: ephemerides) gives the positions of naturally occurring astronomical objects as well as artificial satellites in the sky at a given time or times.

Equatorial mount

An equatorial mount is a mount for instruments that compensates for Earth's rotation by having one rotational axis parallel to the Earth's axis of rotation.

Right ascension

Right ascension (abbreviated RA; symbol) is the angular distance measured only eastward along the celestial equator from the Sun at the March equinox to the (hour circle of the) point above the earth in question.
