Local sky character in Perdriel
Southern mid-latitudes · southern hemisphere · 960 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 33.1° above the horizon, so stars within 33° of it never set from here.
- About 77.3% 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 85.9° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are circumpolar here — visible on any clear, dark night of the year.
- At 960 m elevation, roughly 11% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Perdriel is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
