Local sky character in Negara

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 12 m elevation

  • The south celestial pole stands 8.4° above the horizon, so stars within 8° of it never set from here.
  • About 57.3% 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 69.4° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
  • The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 28.7° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
  • At 12 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
