Local sky character in Al Hoceima
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 74 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 35.3° 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 25.7° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 74 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Al Hoceima is a mid-sized urban area — bright constellations and planets work from town; faint deep-sky objects need a drive out.
