Local sky character in Angkor Sar
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 11 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 11.3° above the horizon, so stars within 11° of it never set from here.
- About 59.8% 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 49.7° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 9° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 11 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Angkor Sar is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

- 2026-08-13 — Darkest night of the coming month

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.

- Are there seasons for stargazing in Angkor Sar, Prey Veng, 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 Sar, Prey Veng, Cambodia tonight?
- About 9.0 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.
