Tonight's sky above Laattaouia, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco

Local sky character in Laattaouia
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 634 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 31.8° above the horizon, so stars within 32° of it never set from here.
- About 76.4% 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 29.2° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 634 m elevation, roughly 7% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Laattaouia is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Laattaouia, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 2026-11-08 — 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 Laattaouia, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco.
