Tonight's sky above Capas, Central Luzon, Philippines

Local sky character in Capas

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 53 m elevation

The north celestial pole stands 15.3° above the horizon, so stars within 15° of it never set from here.
About 63.2% 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 45.7° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 5° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
At 53 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
