THE INTERACTIVE OBSERVATORY
Your sky, in perspective
A real star catalog. Your location. Your moment in the universe.

Accessible sky positions and calculation notes
Altitude is relative to an ideal horizon. Trees, terrain, clouds and daylight can hide objects. Star positions include catalog proper motion and precession/nutation in the chart; named-object details use precession/nutation without proper motion. This is an educational chart, not a telescope-control system. Constellation lines show three selected patterns, not all 88 constellations.
| Object | Altitude | Azimuth | Above horizon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercury | -59.3° | 285.4° | No |
| Venus | -72.1° | 331.2° | No |
| Mars | -17.3° | 55.5° | No |
| Jupiter | -24.0° | 53.1° | No |
| Saturn | 59.1° | 190.4° | Yes |
| Uranus | 46.2° | 92.3° | Yes |
| Neptune | 55.6° | 202.7° | Yes |
| Moon | 43.5° | 82.1° | Yes |
Never point an optical instrument at the Sun without a correctly fitted solar filter and qualified guidance. A sky chart cannot assess whether your equipment is safe for solar observation.
