Local sky character in Bozova
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 583 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 37.4° above the horizon, so stars within 37° of it never set from here.
- About 80.3% 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 23.6° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 583 m elevation, roughly 7% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Bozova is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
