Satellites Visible Tonight from Amritsar

Satellites visible from Amritsar (31.6340°N, 74.8723°E) tonight, with the IST start time, direction, peak height and brightness of each pass. A pass is listed only when the satellite clears 10°, is sunlit, your sky is dark and it reaches about magnitude 4.5.

Amritsar lies at about 234 m on the flat Majha plain, roughly 25 km from the Pakistan border and 47 km from Lahore. Open farmland surrounds it on all sides, but smoke from crop fires across the region is a bigger obstacle to seeing passes than the city's own lights.

When the sky works in Amritsar

Most rain falls from July to September. Stubble smoke in October and November and dense winter fog, which has repeatedly diverted flights at the airport, leave February and March as the best months.

Darker skies near Amritsar

No dark site has been documented near Amritsar; the open farmland beyond the city's outer villages is the best bet for fainter passes.
