Declination and right ascension
I'm stuck on this multiple choice question:
Which of the following could be the equitorial co-ordinates of a star that rises to the south of east when viewed from 48 degrees north latitude, and 88 degrees west longitude?
a declination 60, right ascension 13 hours
b declination 30, right ascension 6 hours
c declination -30, right ascension 1 hour
d declination -60, right ascension 20 hours
I was hoping that someone could tell me the answer and how to come up with it. I am very confused about right ascension!
