Local sky character in Aguaytia
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 278 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 9° above the horizon, so stars within 9° of it never set from here.
- About 57.9% 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 70° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 29.3° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 278 m elevation, roughly 3% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Aguaytia is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
