Local sky character in Manisa
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 77 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 38.6° above the horizon, so stars within 39° of it never set from here.
- About 81.2% 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 22.4° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 77 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Manisa is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
