Local sky character in Cubulco
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 1000 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 15.1° above the horizon, so stars within 15° of it never set from here.
- About 63% 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 45.9° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 5.2° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 1000 m elevation, roughly 11% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Cubulco is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
