Local sky character in Anlong Thnaot
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 17 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 12.5° above the horizon, so stars within 13° of it never set from here.
- About 60.8% 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 48.5° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 7.8° 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.
Anlong Thnaot 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 Anlong Thnaot

- 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.
