Local sky character in Saint-Marc

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · -9999 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 19.1° above the horizon, so stars within 19° of it never set from here.
  • About 66.4% 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 41.9° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
  • The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 1.2° 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.
