Surely you must realize that the sky takes on different appearances when viewed
from different places on earth, and that the entire sky and every astronomical object
in it rotates completely around an observer each day.
We can probably identify an object that you saw one evening, but in addition to its
position in the sky, you must also tell us what time you saw it there, and where you
were located.

Is The south celestial pole is located at a declination of -90 degrees?
The Celestial Poles are the infinite extension of the North and South Poles from the Earth into space. The North Star or Polaris, is within 1 degree of the North Celestial Pole. There is no equivalent star for the South Celestial Pole.
Does a star that is located 30 degrees north of the celestial equator have 30 degrees declination?
Yes. "Declination" on the celestial coordinate system is the counterpart of "latitude" on the terrestrial coordinate system. Positive and negative declination correspond respectively to north and south latitude.

What is a star that never sets at latitude?
Stars near the north celestial pole and the south celestial pole become "circumpolar" at high latitudes. They "circle around the pole". For example, the star Polaris never sets anywhere in the northern hemisphere. Constellations like the Big Dipper, Draco or Cassiopeia are "circumpolar" north of about 30 degrees north latitude. While there is no "south pole star", a constellation such as the Southern Cross is circumpolar south of about 40 degrees South.

Can you see the big dog constellation and where?
Canis Major can be seen anywhere between the latitudes of 80 degrees South and 60 degrees North.It can be seen in the Evening sky throughout the Winter and early Spring.The easiest way to find it is to first find the three stars of Orion's "belt", and follow them in a line to the East for about 20 degrees. Here you will encounter Sirius, the brightest star in Canis Major (and the brightest star in the sky). Imagine Sirius as the "neck" of the dog, with the body extending to the East, and the legs coming down toward the South horizon.
How does the north star still help with navigation?
By telling wheres North, South, East, and West. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently the North Star is located in the sky coincident with Earth Rotational Axis. It therefore indicates the position of True North (hence its name!).
How can due south be located in the night sky?
Where should it be located? Obviously if your looking at a map, south is down. How can south be located down? If your standing on the south pole, there is no south. If your looking for a star and it is located in the southern part of the sky, that is where you would look for it. A point of reference, not a rule as to where south is.
