In the new Mathematica 13.2 the AstroGraphics let you plot the sky, e.g. centered at a specific coordinate. However, I cannot figure out how to enter efficiently the value for {right ascension, declination}. Below is my best outcome so far for an object at 5h 13m 13s, 2d 51m 18s, i.e. FromDMS works fine for declination, but not that great for right ascension.

zygo = 
 AstroPosition[{FromDMS[{360\*5/24, 13\*15, 13\*15}], 
   FromDMS[{2, 51, 18}]}, "Equatorial"]

Any ideas? (Or maybe I am just overlooking something obvious...)
