Local sky character in Port-de-Paix
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 11 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 19.9° above the horizon, so stars within 20° of it never set from here.
- About 67.1% 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 41.1° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 0.4° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 11 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Port-de-Paix is a mid-sized urban area — bright constellations and planets work from town; faint deep-sky objects need a drive out.
