What point in a constellation should I use when recording the altitude? The bottom, top, middle, brightest star, or something else? Thanks.|||altitude?.... that's a measure for here on Earth.... a star doesn't have a place here on Earth, so it doesn't have an altitude..... it is x-ly distant, perhaps.....|||Basically the middle makes the most sense. A bright star might be at one end or another, but most of the constellation above or below it, for example.|||I would use the middle of the constellation (a bit vague) or the brightest star in the constellation (more precise).|||I would use the primary star in that constellation.
