Local sky character in Kampong Gunong
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 93 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 5.7° above the horizon, so stars within 6° of it never set from here.
- About 55% 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 55.3° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 14.6° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 93 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Kampong Gunong is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

- Night length barely changes at this latitude — twilight is short and the Sun sets steeply, so darkness arrives quickly all year. What changes is which part of the sky is on view after sunset, and, in monsoon-affected regions, how often the sky is clear at all.
