Hi Alan,

I got 16h05m15.0s +17d44m55s from NED.
You can try this by yourself.  Just go to http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/
and find objects by name.  In this case, there is only one object called 
Abell 2151 so it's straightforward.  In the result page, you can find its 
RA and Dec, and images as well.  More image options will show up after 
you lick the image.  You can change the size of the image and also the 
central coordinates.  This is very useful for astrophotography.

Enjoy.

Wei-Hao
