Local sky character in Wang Nam Yen

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 104 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 13.5° above the horizon, so stars within 14° of it never set from here.
  • About 61.7% 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 47.5° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
  • The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 6.8° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
  • At 104 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
