Tonight's sky above Cao Lanh, Dong Thap, Vietnam
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Cao Lanh, Dong Thap, Vietnam comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Cao Lanh
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 5 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 10.5° above the horizon, so stars within 11° of it never set from here.
- About 59.1% 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 50.5° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 9.8° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 5 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Cao Lanh is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.

Best nights this month in Cao Lanh
Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.
- 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour
Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Cao Lanh, Dong Thap, Vietnam. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 2026-11-08 — Darkest night of the coming month
The Moon is only 0% illuminated, giving the least lunar interference in the next 30 nights — the best window for the Milky Way and faint deep-sky targets from Cao Lanh, Dong Thap, Vietnam.
- 2026-11-17 — Leonids peak — up to 15/hour
Radiant in Leo. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 45% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.
- 2026-11-24 — Full Moon
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.
