Local sky character in Mrauk U
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 9 m elevation

- The Milky Way's core in Sagittarius culminates about 40.4° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- At 9 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
