Instructions
Type in the right ascension coordinates expressed in hours, minutes and seconds and declination coordinates expressed in degrees, minutes and seconds.
This is just a draft project. I haven't tested different combinations of quadrants.
Here is the link to the Caltech calculator:

I used J2000.0 coordinates:
α0 = 192.8595ο,
δ0 = 27.1283ο,
l0 = 122.9320ο
