Tonight's sky above La Pintada, Antioquia, Colombia
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from La Pintada, Antioquia, Colombia comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in La Pintada
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 602 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 602 m elevation, roughly 7% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
La Pintada is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

Best nights this month in La Pintada
Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.
- 2026-10-21 — Orionids peak — up to 20/hour
Radiant in Orion. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 72% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.
- 2026-10-26 — Full Moon
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.
- 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour
Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes La Pintada, Antioquia, Colombia. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 2026-11-09 — Darkest night of the coming month
The Moon is only 0% illuminated, giving the least lunar interference in the next 30 nights — the best window for the Milky Way and faint deep-sky targets from La Pintada, Antioquia, Colombia.

- Can you see the aurora tonight in La Pintada, Antioquia, Colombia?
- La Pintada, Antioquia, Colombia is far enough from the pole that aurora only reaches overhead during a major geomagnetic storm — specifically when the planetary Kp index reaches about 9, a level reached only a handful of times per solar cycle.
- What is the stargazing light pollution level in La Pintada, Antioquia, Colombia?
- La Pintada, Antioquia, Colombia is a small town — typically Bortle class 1–4 (rural to excellent dark sky), where the Milky Way is usually visible on clear, moonless nights away from local lighting.
