Local sky character in Ain Touta
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 925 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 35.4° above the horizon, so stars within 35° of it never set from here.
- About 78.9% 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 25.6° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 925 m elevation, roughly 10% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Ain Touta is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
