Local sky character in Disuq

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 11 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 31.1° above the horizon, so stars within 31° of it never set from here.
  • About 75.9% 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 29.9° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 11 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
