Local sky character in Tibu
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 68 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 8.6° above the horizon, so stars within 9° of it never set from here.
- About 57.5% 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 52.4° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 11.7° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 68 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Tibu is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
