Local sky character in Comarnic

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 641 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 45.3° above the horizon, so stars within 45° of it never set from here.
  • About 85.5% 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 15.8° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 641 m elevation, roughly 7% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
