Local sky character in Angkor Meas
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 31 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 10.8° above the horizon, so stars within 11° of it never set from here.
- About 59.3% 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 50.2° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 9.5° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 31 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Angkor Meas 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 Angkor Meas
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 Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia.
- 2026-08-12 — Perseids peak — up to 100/hour
Radiant in Perseus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia. The Moon is 2% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is none.
- 2026-08-27 — Full Moon
A 100%-lit Moon washes out faint objects, but lunar terrain along the limb is at its most striking — plan bright targets and planets instead of deep sky.

- Can I see both northern and southern constellations from Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia?

- Are there seasons for stargazing in Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia?
- Night length barely changes at this latitude — twilight is short and the Sun sets steeply, so darkness arrives quickly all year. What changes is which part of the sky is on view after sunset, and, in monsoon-affected regions, how often the sky is clear at all.
- How dark does it actually get in Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia tonight?
- About 9.1 hours of astronomical darkness (Sun more than 18° below the horizon). That is the real observing window for faint objects; brighter targets are workable from dusk onward.
