Tonight's sky above Dungun, Terengganu, Malaysia
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Dungun, Terengganu, Malaysia comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Dungun
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 7 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 4.8° above the horizon, so stars within 5° of it never set from here.
- About 54.2% 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 56.2° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 15.5° 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.
Dungun is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
