We do not use latitude and longitude in the sky. Co-ordinates are given as right ascension and declination. These give positions relative to the First Point of Aries, where the Sun crosses the celestial equator at the vernal equinox, and to the celestial equator. A constellation covers quite a large area of sky so must be given a range of co-ordinates. For Aquila these are RA 18 hours 41 min 18.2958 s to 20 hours 38 min 23.7231 s, and declination 18.6882229 degrees to minus 11.8664360 degrees.

What is the latitude and longitude of Canis Major?

The whole latitude/longitude system was invented for the purpose of locating places on the surface of the Earth, and that's all it's good for. Even if you would ask "What is the latitude and longitude of the spot on Earth that Canis Major is directly over ?", the answer to that keeps changing, as the stars move across the sky. It would be like asking for the latitude and longitude of the spot that the sun or the moon is directly over.
