Local sky character in Oc Eo
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 2 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 10.2° above the horizon, so stars within 10° of it never set from here.
- About 58.9% 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 50.8° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 10.1° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 2 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Oc Eo is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
Best nights this month in Oc Eo
Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.
- 2026-08-12 — Darkest night of the coming month
The Moon is only 0% illuminated, giving the least lunar interference in the next 30 nights — the best window for the Milky Way and faint deep-sky targets from Oc Eo, An Giang, Vietnam.
- 2026-08-12 — Perseids peak — up to 100/hour
Radiant in Perseus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Oc Eo, An Giang, Vietnam. The Moon is 2% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is none.
- 2026-08-27 — Full Moon
A 100%-lit Moon washes out faint objects, but lunar terrain along the limb is at its most striking — plan bright targets and planets instead of deep sky.
Oc Eo, An Giang, Vietnam stargazing questions

- Tonight from Oc Eo, An Giang, Vietnam expect a new moon Moon at 0% illumination, with these naked-eye planets above the horizon after dark: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, Mars. The night offers about 9.1 hours of true astronomical darkness.
- Can I see both northern and southern constellations from Oc Eo, An Giang, Vietnam?
- Yes — this is the real advantage of an equatorial location. At 10.2° N, about 58.9% of the entire celestial sphere rises at some point in the year, so Polaris-side constellations and the Southern Cross region are both reachable across the seasons.
- How good is the Milky Way from Oc Eo, An Giang, Vietnam?

- Are there seasons for stargazing in Oc Eo, An Giang, Vietnam?
- 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.
- How dark does it actually get in Oc Eo, An Giang, Vietnam tonight?
- About 9.1 hours of astronomical darkness (Sun more than 18° below the horizon). That is the real observing window for faint objects; brighter targets are workable from dusk onward.
