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.

- Night length barely changes at this latitude — twilight is short and the Sun sets steeply, so darkness arrives quickly all year. What changes is which part of the sky is on view after sunset, and, in monsoon-affected regions, how often the sky is clear at all.
