Local sky character in Lincoln
Southern mid-latitudes · southern hemisphere · 77 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 34.9° above the horizon, so stars within 35° of it never set from here.
- About 78.6% 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 84.1° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are circumpolar here — visible on any clear, dark night of the year.
- At 77 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Lincoln is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
