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.
- 2026-10-21 — Orionids peak — up to 20/hour
Radiant in Orion. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 72% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.
- 2026-10-25 — 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.
- 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour
Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 2026-11-08 — 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.
- 2026-11-17 — Leonids peak — up to 15/hour
Radiant in Leo. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 45% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.

- When does darkness start tonight in Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia?

- Can you see the aurora tonight in Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia?
- Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia is far enough from the pole that aurora only reaches overhead during a major geomagnetic storm — specifically when the planetary Kp index reaches about 9, a level reached only a handful of times per solar cycle.
- What is the stargazing light pollution level in Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia?
- Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia is a small town — typically Bortle class 1–4 (rural to excellent dark sky), where the Milky Way is usually visible on clear, moonless nights away from local lighting. These are typical ranges for this population size, not a measured reading for this exact spot — use tonight's Moon phase and the best-nights list above to time a visit away from direct lighting.
- Can I see both northern and southern constellations from Angkor Meas, Kampot, Cambodia?
- Yes — this is the real advantage of an equatorial location. At 10.8° N, about 59.3% of the entire celestial sphere rises at some point in the year, so Polaris-side constellations and the Southern Cross region are both reachable across the seasons.

- 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 9.8 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.
