Local sky character in Telde
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 160 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 28° above the horizon, so stars within 28° of it never set from here.
- About 73.5% 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 33° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 160 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Telde is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
