A star with a declination of -60 degrees will be located in the southern celestial hemisphere. This means it will be positioned 60 degrees south of the celestial equator. Observers in the Southern Hemisphere will be able to see it high in their sky, while those in the northern hemisphere will not be able to see it at all.

What is the longitude and latitude of Draco?
The constellation Draco is located at approximately 17 hours right ascension and 60 degrees declination. The exact coordinates will vary depending on the specific star within the constellation that you are referring to.
How can you if a particular star is circumpolar from a certain latitude?
To determine if a star is circumpolar from a certain latitude, you can compare the star's declination to the observer's latitude. A star is circumpolar if its declination is greater than or equal to the observer's latitude. For example, if you are at a latitude of 60°N, any star with a declination of +60° or higher will be circumpolar, meaning it never sets below the horizon. This can be visually confirmed by observing the star's position in the sky over time; circumpolar stars will appear to move in circles around the North or South celestial pole without dipping below the horizon.
What city is located at 60 degrees north and 25 degrees east?

While watching a star you see it moves 15 degrees across the sky how long have you been watching it?
The time it takes for a star to move 15 degrees across the sky depends on its rate of motion (angular speed). Without knowing this speed, it is not possible to determine the exact time you have been watching the star.

What range of declination makes stars appear circumpolar?
Subtract your latitude from 90° and that will give the the decollation of circumpolar stars. In northern New Zealand, my latitude is 35°. If I subtract that from 90°, I get 55°. So stars with Declination great than 55° are circumpolar for me.

What is the name for a piece of equipment that measures a ships distance from the equator?
The usual device is a sextant, which measures the altitude (angle above the horizon) of stars or the Sun crossing the meridian (i.e. due south). The latitude can then be calcuated after looking up the declination of the object in tables, for example in the Nautical Almanac. A star (or the Sun) on the (celestial) equator has an altitude of 90 minus the latitude, so in general a star's altitude is 90 - latitude + declination, when it is due south. The ship's latitude is therefore 90 - altitude + declination. The distance from the equator in nautical miles is the latitude (in degrees) times 60.
