Tonight's sky above Krasnozatonskiy, Komi, Russia

Local sky character in Krasnozatonskiy
Northern high latitudes · northern hemisphere · 108 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 61.7° above the horizon, so stars within 62° of it never set from here.
- About 94% of the whole sky rises above the horizon at some point in the year from this latitude.
- The Galactic Centre never rises from this latitude, so the brightest stretch of the Milky Way stays permanently below the horizon.
- At 108 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
- Above 62° the observing year is strongly seasonal: mid-summer nights may never reach astronomical darkness, while mid-winter delivers very long dark windows.
Krasnozatonskiy is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

A 100%-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.
Krasnozatonskiy, Komi, Russia stargazing questions
- What can I see in the sky tonight from Krasnozatonskiy, Komi, Russia?
- Tonight from Krasnozatonskiy, Komi, Russia expect a new moon Moon at 0% illumination, with these naked-eye planets above the horizon after dark: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, Mars. At this latitude the Sun may not drop 18° below the horizon tonight, so full astronomical darkness is not reached.
- How likely are the northern lights in Krasnozatonskiy, Komi, Russia?
- Krasnozatonskiy, Komi, Russia sits at 61.7° N, inside the latitude range the auroral oval reaches on ordinary active nights — the oval sits near 58° geomagnetic latitude at Kp 3. That means aurora is a realistic prospect here whenever geomagnetic activity lifts above the quiet baseline, not only during major storms.
- What time of night is best for aurora watching in Krasnozatonskiy, Komi, Russia?
- Auroral substorms cluster around local magnetic midnight, so the hours either side of midnight are statistically strongest. You also need real darkness: this page's dusk and dawn times mark the usable window, and in mid-summer that window can close entirely at this latitude.
- Do I need to leave Krasnozatonskiy, Komi, Russia to see the aurora?
- Krasnozatonskiy, Komi, Russia is small enough that local sky glow is not the limiting factor; a clear view toward the northern horizon and clear weather matter more.
- How dark does it actually get in Krasnozatonskiy, Komi, Russia tonight?
- Krasnozatonskiy, Komi, Russia is far enough from the equator that at this time of year the Sun stays above −18°, so astronomical darkness is not reached tonight — a normal feature of high-latitude summers, not a data error.
