The 30 pages that link to Astronomical coordinate systems, each with the reason it gives.

• Celestial navigationRelated: Almanac positions use celestial coordinates that connect a body to an observation time.

• AstronomyRelated: Astronomers use shared coordinates to locate and compare objects in the sky.

• AzimuthRelated: Horizontal sky coordinates use azimuth to locate an object around the observer's horizon.

• Sloan Digital Sky SurveyRelated: SDSS catalogs locate every detected source in a common sky-coordinate framework.

• Astronomical instrumentRelated: Coordinates make instrument measurements of sky position comparable and interpretable.

• UranometriaRelated: The atlas’s maps place stars according to their positions on the celestial sphere.

• Caroline HerschelRelated: Recording precise sky positions let Herschel distinguish moving comets from fixed stars.

• Spherical triangleRelated: Coordinate conversions often reduce to solving spherical triangles.

• Star chartRelated: Coordinates let charts mark and communicate precise sky positions.

• Celestial globeRelated: Coordinates determine where stars and other markings appear on the globe.

• Pierre MéchainRelated: Precise positions let Méchain distinguish and relocate faint objects for verification.

• Maria MitchellRelated: Recording an unfamiliar object’s position allowed its motion to be checked and reported.

• The Astronomical AlmanacRelated: The Almanac reports positions using standardized celestial coordinates.

• NASA/IPAC Extragalactic DatabaseRelated: NED uses celestial positions to identify and locate objects.

• Astronomical catalogueRelated: Standardized coordinates make catalogue positions interpretable across observations.

• Abd al-Rahman al-SufiRelated: Comparing stellar positions required a consistent way to locate stars across the sky.

• PictorRelated: Pictor’s boundaries and stars are located using celestial coordinates.

• Pi PuppisRelated: Coordinates locate Pi Puppis independently of its traditional name.
