Local sky character in Sonta

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 83 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 45.6° above the horizon, so stars within 46° of it never set from here.
  • About 85.7% 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 15.4° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 83 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
