Local sky character in Dusheti
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 869 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 42.1° above the horizon, so stars within 42° of it never set from here.
- About 83.5% 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 18.9° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 869 m elevation, roughly 10% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Dusheti is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
