Local sky character in Suan Luang
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 10 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 13.7° above the horizon, so stars within 14° of it never set from here.
- About 61.9% 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 47.3° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 6.6° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 10 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Suan Luang is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.

A 100%-lit Moon washes out faint objects, but lunar terrain along the limb is at its most striking — plan bright targets and planets instead of deep sky.
- 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour
Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Suan Luang, Bangkok, Thailand. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 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 Suan Luang, Bangkok, Thailand.

- What is the stargazing light pollution level in Suan Luang, Bangkok, Thailand?
- Suan Luang, Bangkok, Thailand is a small city — typically Bortle class 4–5 (rural/suburban transition), where the Milky Way core can be glimpsed on clear, moonless nights.
