Local sky character in Szczecin
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 149 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 53.4° above the horizon, so stars within 53° of it never set from here.
- About 90.2% 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 7.6° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 149 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Szczecin is a mid-sized urban area — bright constellations and planets work from town; faint deep-sky objects need a drive out.
