I really don't have any detail to add because the question says it all.|||Constellations do not have lat and long, but they have something similar...
Right Ascension and Declination
for Pegausus:
R.A.: 23h.11m.
Dec: 10潞47'|||Objects in the sky don't have a longitude and latitude. Their positions are defined by the celestial coordinate system: right ascension and declination. Pegasus is a large constellation, so covers a right ascension from 21 h to 0 h and a declination from 2掳N to 36掳N.|||Longitude and latitude? No such things in astronomy. They use a celestial system of coordinates. For the constellation Pegasus, it's:right ascension 23 h; declination +20掳.|||The square extends (approximately) between
RA : 23 hrs to 0 (or 24)hrs,
Decl.: +16掳 to +29掳.
The center is
RA/Decl. = 23hrs 30 mnts / +22.5掳.|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(co鈥?/a>
I don't really need to add any detail to the answer - what you need is all there.|||longitude and latitude are Earth-based coordinates, Pegasus is in the sky.
