Local sky character in Port Dickson
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · -9999 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 2.5° above the horizon, so stars within 3° of it never set from here.
- About 52.2% 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 58.5° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 17.8° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At -9999 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Port Dickson is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
