Local sky character in Angk Tasaom
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 17 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 11° above the horizon, so stars within 11° of it never set from here.
- About 59.6% 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 50° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 9.3° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 17 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Angk Tasaom is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
Best nights this month in Angk Tasaom
Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.
- 2026-08-12 — Darkest night of the coming month
The Moon is only 0% illuminated, giving the least lunar interference in the next 30 nights — the best window for the Milky Way and faint deep-sky targets from Angk Tasaom, Takeo, Cambodia.
