Local sky character in Lvea Leu

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 57 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 12.3° above the horizon, so stars within 12° of it never set from here.
  • About 60.7% 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 48.7° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
  • The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 8° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
  • At 57 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.

Are there seasons for stargazing in Lvea Leu, Kampong Cham, Cambodia?
Night length barely changes at this latitude — twilight is short and the Sun sets steeply, so darkness arrives quickly all year. What changes is which part of the sky is on view after sunset, and, in monsoon-affected regions, how often the sky is clear at all.
