Local sky character in Anhchanh Rung
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 32 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 12.4° above the horizon, so stars within 12° of it never set from here.
- About 60.7% 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 48.6° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 7.9° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 32 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Anhchanh Rung 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 Anhchanh Rung
Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.
- 2026-08-12 — Darkest night of the coming month
