I am taking a quiz for an astronomy course. I am not looking for an answer, just some help pointing me in the right direction. I was asked to use Starry Nights to locate Jupiter for Feb 1, 10pm 2009. I used my location, Atlanta GA, and came up with the answer:
constellation: Capricornus
RA: 20h35.909m
DEC: 19d5.9666'

Capricornus isn't even an eligible constellation for my multiple choice answers. Could anyone who has Starry Nights or a similar program enter the info and tell me if they get a similar answer? I am new to this program and could be doing something wrong, if I somehow missed a step could anyone help point me in the right direction of how I differently need to set it up? Thanks in advance, -CJ
