Tonight's sky above Pita, Mamou Region, Guinea
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Pita, Mamou Region, Guinea comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Pita
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 973 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 11.1° above the horizon, so stars within 11° of it never set from here.
- About 59.6% 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 49.9° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 9.2° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 973 m elevation, roughly 11% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Pita 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 Pita
Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.
- 2026-10-21 — Orionids peak — up to 20/hour
Radiant in Orion. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 72% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.
- 2026-10-25 — 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.
- 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour
Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Pita, Mamou Region, Guinea. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 2026-11-08 — 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 Pita, Mamou Region, Guinea.
- 2026-11-17 — Leonids peak — up to 15/hour
Radiant in Leo. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 45% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.

- Can you see the aurora tonight in Pita, Mamou Region, Guinea?
- Pita, Mamou Region, Guinea is far enough from the pole that aurora only reaches overhead during a major geomagnetic storm — specifically when the planetary Kp index reaches about 9, a level reached only a handful of times per solar cycle.
- What is the stargazing light pollution level in Pita, Mamou Region, Guinea?
- Pita, Mamou Region, Guinea is a small town — typically Bortle class 1–4 (rural to excellent dark sky), where the Milky Way is usually visible on clear, moonless nights away from local lighting. These are typical ranges for this population size, not a measured reading for this exact spot — use tonight's Moon phase and the best-nights list above to time a visit away from direct lighting.
