Local sky character in Taza
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 530 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 34.2° above the horizon, so stars within 34° of it never set from here.
- About 78.1% 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 26.8° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 530 m elevation, roughly 6% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Taza is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
