Local sky character in Sincik
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 1266 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 38° above the horizon, so stars within 38° of it never set from here.
- About 80.8% 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 23° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 1266 m elevation, roughly 14% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Sincik is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
