Local sky character in Gajendragarh
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 643 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 15.7° above the horizon, so stars within 16° of it never set from here.
- About 63.6% 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 45.3° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 4.6° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 643 m elevation, roughly 7% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Gajendragarh is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
