Local sky character in Coyoacan
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 2255 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 19.3° above the horizon, so stars within 19° of it never set from here.
- About 66.6% 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 41.7° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 1° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 2255 m elevation, roughly 23% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Coyoacan is a mid-sized urban area — bright constellations and planets work from town; faint deep-sky objects need a drive out.

- Current geomagnetic activity (Kp 0.7, quiet) is not strong enough to bring the aurora to your latitude.
- Weather
- No significant rain, wind or temperature extremes are expected overnight.
Skies should be clear tonight, making it a good night for stargazing, although aurora activity is unlikely.
Best nights this month in Coyoacan
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 Coyoacan, Mexico City, Mexico. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 2026-11-09 — 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 Coyoacan, Mexico City, Mexico.
- 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.

- What is the stargazing light pollution level in Coyoacan, Mexico City, Mexico?
- Coyoacan, Mexico City, Mexico is a mid-sized urban area — typically Bortle class 5–6 (bright suburban sky), where major constellations are workable but the Milky Way is washed out.

- Does Coyoacan, Mexico City, Mexico's elevation help stargazing?
- At 2255 m you are above a meaningful fraction of the atmosphere, which reduces extinction and scintillation — the reason major observatories are sited high.
- What should I plan for observing near Coyoacan, Mexico City, Mexico?
- High sites reward targets that suffer most from atmosphere: planets at high altitude, faint nebulae, and the Milky Way, which culminates around 41.7° here. Cold and thinner air are the practical constraints, not the sky.
- How dark does it actually get in Coyoacan, Mexico City, Mexico tonight?
- About 10.1 hours of astronomical darkness (Sun more than 18° below the horizon). That is the real observing window for faint objects; brighter targets are workable from dusk onward.
