OK, I'm really rusty on this.
I need to convert a unit vector to right ascension and declination.
I believe I recall the formulae correctly, as I seem to have gotten 1 as my radius.
So, that's good.
In the pic I have my unit vector (P2), my actual answer below, my expected answer in red and the formulae I (believe) I need in blue shaded cells.

Anybody help me out here, before I go to the physics forum and give them a good giggle....

They pointed me away from the incorrect formulae...
