Local sky character in Puerto Ayacucho
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 84 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 5.7° above the horizon, so stars within 6° of it never set from here.
- About 54.9% 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 55.3° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 14.6° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 84 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Puerto Ayacucho is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.

- 2026-11-09 — 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 Puerto Ayacucho, Amazonas, Venezuela.
- 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.
