Milky Way season in Sulecin

The Milky Way's bright core never climbs 20° above the horizon during astronomical darkness from Sulecin; the fainter band is still visible from a dark site.

• The north celestial pole stands 52.4° above the horizon, so stars within 52° of it never set from here.
• About 89.6% 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 8.6° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
• At 78 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
