What is the purpose in your line of questions? Is it for a homework assignment? Then research it yourself. You have been asking about the Right Ascension and Declination of several objects, all of which are easy enough to look up yourself.
If it isn't for a homework assignment then stating exactly what you are trying to accomplish in asking these questions should make it easier to get your ultimate answer quicker and not waste your points willy-nilly.
So what is your purpose in asking this? Oh and btw, RA and DEC depend on what EPOCH the coordinates are based on (chew on that).
