How do astronomers plot a star's exact position?

Astronomers know that there isn't really a "celestial sphere", a globe of crystal in which the stars are embedded. But it is often convenient to talk of a "sphere" around the Earth, in which all the stars and planets move. And sometimes it makes the math a whole lot easier.
