Local sky character in Kantueu Pir
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 28 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 12.9° above the horizon, so stars within 13° of it never set from here.
- About 61.2% 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 48.1° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 7.4° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 28 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Kantueu Pir is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
