Stargazing tonight in Sydney
Australia · New South Wales · ~33.9°S
Sydney faces classic southern skies — Magellanic Clouds, Crux, and a winter Milky Way over the Tasman. Coastal humidity fights inland Blue Mountains clarity on many nights.
Southerly changes often scrub the air for excellent post-frontal transparency.
