Local sky character in Davrapada
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 7 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 18.8° above the horizon, so stars within 19° of it never set from here.
- About 66.1% 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 42.2° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 1.5° 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.
Davrapada is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

Radiant in Orion. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 72% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.
- 2026-10-25 — 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.
- 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour
Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Davrapada, Maharashtra, India. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 2026-11-08 — 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 Davrapada, Maharashtra, India.
