Local sky character in Cite Soleil
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 7 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 18.6° above the horizon, so stars within 19° of it never set from here.
- About 65.9% 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 42.4° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 1.7° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 7 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Cite Soleil is a mid-sized urban area — bright constellations and planets work from town; faint deep-sky objects need a drive out.
