Local sky character in Agrinio
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 66 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 38.6° above the horizon, so stars within 39° of it never set from here.
- About 81.2% of the whole sky rises above the horizon at some point in the year from this latitude.
- The Milky Way's core in Sagittarius culminates about 22.4° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 66 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Agrinio is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
