Local sky character in Huelma

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 1004 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 37.6° above the horizon, so stars within 38° of it never set from here.
  • About 80.5% 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 23.4° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 1004 m elevation, roughly 11% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.

  • 2026-10-25 — Full Moon

    A 99%-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.

  • 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour

    Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Huelma, Andalusia, Spain. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
