Local sky character in Ha'ergai Dadui
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 3282 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 37.3° above the horizon, so stars within 37° of it never set from here.
- About 80.3% 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 23.7° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 3282 m elevation, roughly 32% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Ha'ergai Dadui is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
Best nights this month in Ha'ergai Dadui
