Explanation:

Declination:

The second coordinate is called the declination (Dec). It indicates the vertical position of a celestial object which corresponds to latitude. Declination is measured in degrees, minutes and seconds of arc. One degree of declination is divided into 60 minutes of arc and one minute of arc is further divided into 60 seconds of arc. When declination is positive, a star’s location is north of the celestial equator. When declination is negative, the star location is south of the celestial equator, or in this case, below.
