 For stars and deep sky objects, this paragraph contains static information about the object which was retrieved from the catalog.  For these kinds of objects, they ususally will begin with the object type, catalog short name, the catalog identification, and the relative magnitude. The rest of this content depends entirely on the catalog from which the data is retrieved.\\
 For Solar system objects, you can find information like the object type, and the object identification (name). Please forgive SkyChart when it shows you the Sun as a planet. All other information in this paragraph is dynamically calculated from the ephemeris data. This information depends on the type of solar system object you 're dealing with. \\
 ==== Coordinates ====
-The coordinates of your object will be shown in the equatorial systems (apparent and mean), and also in the ecliptic - and galactic systems.
+The first line of this paragraph, starting with ''Coordinates:'', informs you to which of the equatorial coordinate systems the chart is set. The chart can show you on several coordinates in the equatorial systems, for example at the **[[status_bar|status bar]]**.  You can specify the equatorial coordinate system of your chart by the tab Chart, Coordinates from the menu by **setup -> [[chart_coordinates#type_of_coordinates|Chart, Coordinates]]**, in the **type of coordinates** part. \\
+The other lines show you the coordinates of your object in the specified coordinate systems. Here, you can find the equatorial systems (apparent and mean), and also in the ecliptic - and galactic systems.
-==== Visibility for observatory ====
+==== Visibility for your observatory position and time ====
-Here you find specific data relating to your position and time. So there is the name of the site you are observing from with the local date and time. Next, you will find the times in UT and local sideral time. Then there is the positional data for the date and time that was used in the calculation: local hour angle, azimuth and altitude. At the and you can find data about the time and position of rise, culmination and set; unless you are dealing with a circumpolair object. Then there's only information about the culmination.
