22 Ephemeris Data Tropical (Geocentric Longitude and Latitude) Equatorial (Declination and Right Ascension) Topocentric (Altitude and Azimuth)
23 Tropical Geocentric ecliptic system where longitude (λ) is measured counterclockwise from the vernal equinox and latitude (β) is measured from the ecliptic.
24 Equatorial The angular separation of any celestial objects are not affected by the earth s rotation. This angle is called declination (δ). The second co-ordinate is defined that is unaffected by the rotation is the angle from vernal equinox measured along the equator. This angle is Right Ascension (α in degrees or RA in hours).
25 This is the observer s coordinates for the celestial objects that changes with the time. It is expressed as Altitude (vertical angle with respect to the Zenith) and Azimuth the angular distance of this vertical from some fixed distance that is usually south and measured in a counter-clockwise direction. The rising and setting of the planets is also given as a guide for local observation. Topocentric
