Local sky character in Usak
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 910 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 38.7° above the horizon, so stars within 39° of it never set from here.
- About 81.2% 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 22.3° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 910 m elevation, roughly 10% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Usak is a mid-sized urban area — bright constellations and planets work from town; faint deep-sky objects need a drive out.
