Local sky character in Eregli
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 1053 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 37.5° above the horizon, so stars within 38° of it never set from here.
- About 80.4% 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 23.5° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 1053 m elevation, roughly 12% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Eregli is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.

Your Sky Briefing
- Right now
- The sky is transitioning toward darkness.
- Tonight
- Cloud cover is the main factor limiting visibility tonight.
- Aurora
- Current geomagnetic activity (Kp 1.3, quiet) is not strong enough to bring the aurora to your latitude.
- Weather
- No significant rain, wind or temperature extremes are expected overnight.
Skies should be clear tonight, making it a good night for stargazing, although aurora activity is unlikely.
Best nights this month in Eregli
Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.
- 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour
Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Eregli, Konya, Turkey. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 2026-11-09 — 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 Eregli, Konya, Turkey.
- 2026-11-17 — Leonids peak — up to 15/hour
Radiant in Leo. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 45% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.
- 2026-11-24 — 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.

- When does darkness start tonight in Eregli, Konya, Turkey?

- Can you see the aurora tonight in Eregli, Konya, Turkey?
- Eregli, Konya, Turkey is far enough from the pole that aurora only reaches overhead during a major geomagnetic storm — specifically when the planetary Kp index reaches about 9, a level reached only a handful of times per solar cycle.
- What is the stargazing light pollution level in Eregli, Konya, Turkey?
- Eregli, Konya, Turkey is a small city — typically Bortle class 4–5 (rural/suburban transition), where the Milky Way core can be glimpsed on clear, moonless nights. These are typical ranges for this population size, not a measured reading for this exact spot — use tonight's Moon phase and the best-nights list above to time a visit away from direct lighting.
- Does Eregli, Konya, Turkey's elevation help stargazing?
- At 1053 m you are above a meaningful fraction of the atmosphere, which reduces extinction and scintillation — the reason major observatories are sited high.
- What should I plan for observing near Eregli, Konya, Turkey?
- High sites reward targets that suffer most from atmosphere: planets at high altitude, faint nebulae, and the Milky Way, which culminates around 23.5° here. Cold and thinner air are the practical constraints, not the sky.
- How dark does it actually get in Eregli, Konya, Turkey tonight?
- About 10.6 hours of astronomical darkness (Sun more than 18° below the horizon). That is the real observing window for faint objects; brighter targets are workable from dusk onward.
