Local sky character in Parras de la Fuente
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 1527 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 25.4° above the horizon, so stars within 25° of it never set from here.
- About 71.5% 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 35.6° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- At 1527 m elevation, roughly 16% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Parras de la Fuente is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
