- In some 18th and 19th century astronomical texts, declination is given as "North Pole Distance" (N.P.D.), which is equivalent to 90 – (declination).
- Because the Moon is relatively close to the Earth, lunar parallax alters declination up to 0.95° when observed from Earth's surface versus geocentric declination, the declination of the Moon from the center of the Earth.
- The epoch of the stellar positions is estimated to be near the First Century for the stars with declination less than fifty degrees, and to be near 1395 AD for stars with declination higher than fifty degrees.
- This is given in the declination for the body on a particular day in the year (also taken from the nautical almanac).
