As I understand, the coordinates of the object is RA and Dec. So when you need to say someone where to look - you need to say this two numbers.

this is really some amazing stuff, if i had had that in school i think i would have gotten into astronomy a lot more. but i have to agree with runner, the loading of the pictures generally is too slow. when i take a guided tour and want to see the details i often have to pause and wait up to 30 seconds for the picture to go from pixelated to sharp which really reduces the overall fluidity of the presentation. i know its intended so that people DO pause tours and check out tings that interest them, it should just not be like a requirement to get the normal benefit. i mean looking at galaxies is cool espescially while getting audio information to it, but if the whole visual part is basically reduced to colored squares, whats the point?

Maybe for planets and panorams to add option to download all images, and then just regulary check if there are updates - it will really increase performance.
