Local sky character in Kyaukpadaung
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 380 m elevation

- About 67.8% 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 40.2° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- At 380 m elevation, roughly 4% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
