Local sky character in Sucre
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 2798 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 19° above the horizon, so stars within 19° of it never set from here.
- About 66.3% 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 80° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 39.3° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 2798 m elevation, roughly 28% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Sucre is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
