Tonight's sky above Azrou, Fes-Meknes, Morocco
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Azrou, Fes-Meknes, Morocco comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Azrou
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 1277 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 33.4° above the horizon, so stars within 33° of it never set from here.
- About 77.5% 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 27.6° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 1277 m elevation, roughly 14% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Azrou is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
